Sorry,

I will be honest. In my company we have really good pilots and they fly a lot of handflying here. So tell me why is it necessary to fly by hand to the toc and holding? Makes for me no sense. I agree that we should practice hand flying but to which degree? Would you fly a raw data ils to minimums with minimum weather just that you can say: wow I'm the best jockey on the bird? Wouldn't let sit my family into this bird. Just be professional and use the assistance for what it is made for. 6 days and 18 sectors and you fly the last leg raw data into a snow storm in Russia? Jesus....

So finally don't be selfish and act like a pro and I get my satisfaction from other things in life.

Sorry that must be said
