With the ever more limited basic training, all in the sim, and the even more limited exposure to manual training on line, thanks to hand-cuffing sop's, it might only get worse.
The reaction of the industry by implementing some manual handling sim sessions is nothing more than a badly adhering band-aid.
What is needed is a
more profound basic training in real aircraft (esp. aerobatics) and
more manual handling in the real thing, the sim is just a more sophisticated app.
