My Partner and I asked each other the same question three days ago, and have been doing visuals in the 330 on regional flights since. It was a bit of a wake up, but its not something that was beyond either of us.
Obviously @ HKIA and busy ports we accept the ILS, but we've just deselected the FD and LS buttons and flown it visually/manually.
That said, its not something the culture here encourages. Regardless, I will be doing many many more, with no auto thrust as its time pilots actually flew again. Maybe not on really bad days, or high traffic times, but certainly you can pick your days doing regional stuff, and have a go.
Edit : iflylow, I've seen that before and no, i don't think the idiots who think they "manage" KA or CX could grasp that. it would destroy their MPL, no experience cadet plans. They may actually have to start paying people who are qualified.. Can't have that.
