That's how they justify the cancellation of the handling sim.
If we are forbidden from flying manually, no more problem!
Until we HAVE to fly manually (you know, when there really is a catastrophic failure).
Asiana was such a brilliant demonstration of superior handling skills. Let's walk into their footsteps!
It's really pathetic.
We hire 200h pilots who can't handle a big jet, so to make it safe, we don't allow them to fly it until something really bad happen.
Recipe for disaster!
