What's the problem. I have flown several zero automation flights in the bus. It is a delight.

What boeing are you taliing about, 737, 747, ,757, 767... Or flybywire 777 and 787?
Airbus is a real airplane. What would make it unreal? Fbw?
All boeings have automation. Continuous use of automation degrades hand flying skills, no matter what the model is.
Company policy and captain's attitude towards hand flying will determine the degree of hand skills in a given company. Not the model.
