To be honest most of the 80 hour wonders start out quite proficient in manual raw data flying as that is what they did during their training, both on the real plane and in the simulator. However those old 20.000 hour longhaul captains with three landings in two months, all done on automatics down to 200ft are much less proficient if confronted in the simulator with an exercise in raw data flying.
And yup, quite a few carriers encouraged raw data manual flying for the last 20 years in their SOPs already, so it is nothing new for them.
