Please elaborate with examples if you could.
To the best of my knowledge, manufacturers don't do anything of the sort, they just supply a demand to their customers.
In countries with strong aviation tradition like France , operations have recently suffered the dictates of manufacturers.
Again, please provide examples if you have them.
If you are referring to recent revelations regarding training and heavy reliance on automation by some airlines, then that is coming from the airlines themselves - not the manufacturers.
