Lion air is a ptf airline. That is, there is CM 1 and superfirstclass in row 0 R.
Hand flying skills do not depend on type, but on policy and kind of operations (major airports vs touristic island airport, for instance). But it is true that pilots who are afraid to hand fly say that airbus is not the airplane for handflying, that it is meant flr full auto only.
In my airline boeing pilots are as restricted as airbus ones in this regard.
Bubbers, you would equalky handfly the 777, which us fbw. And the airbus if you dared
