The first go around may have happened to be on an autopilot. It may have disconnected on the second go around.
The chances of being competent in manual flying on the instruments in an airline environment is slim. Once in 6 months training, will make people legal, but not competent.
And most people do not manually fly on the line. There is of course few, who do that. But airlines generally discourage their pilots from practising on the line to keep their competency. So it is a vicious circle.
