There is no shortage of anecdotal evidence that a significant number of operators still actively discourage pilots from practicing their manual flying skills during line flying. Turning off the flight director to practice raw data is recorded on QAR's and often attracts the wrath of higher authority and in worst cases dismissal.
While this head in the sand attitude prevails in the industry with regards to automation dependency - and it is here forever - then nothing will change. Loss of Control accidents are inevitable but acceptable, based upon the premise it always happens to the other bloke or other operator.
