Unless you daily/regularly fly raw data/ old school navaids/ no flight directors/ manual thrust etc etc, how can you be expected to be any good at it?

These things are eminently perishable skills.
The quote here by Tourist is the most succinct I have seen on Pprune on the subject of automation dependency. Well written.

It should be framed and hung on the wall of every airline chief pilots office and every flight operations inspectors office, too.
