Or from the other side of looking at this how about we make the crews not automation dependent?
A friend who flies a 7X (he calls it a 7 Edsel) hand flies it as much as possible. I do the same raw data, even in the sim. Preventing automation dependency can be a self-regulating endeavor. Obviously, some departures and arrivals require automation, but outside that there are opportunities if one has the stomach and professional integrity for it.
Its a start...
