Airbus and Boeing need to grapple with the problem of poor handling skills v autopilot usage.
I am curious why companies who build aeroplanes "need to grapple" with airline pilot handling skills? Surely that is the domain of airlines and regulators?

Airbus for instance are quite clear on providing systems and manuals for manual flying / visual circuits. It is the airlines that fail to provide the training / practice / and currency - and above all instill a culture of "fear" of taking some/all automatics out to keep skills current. And regulators on failing to keep the airlines in check?
