Seems more training in hand flying and the use of autopilots and auto throttles should be mandated. It does not have to be in Full flight sims. FTDs would do just as well.
An extra 2 days each year hand flying in FTDs would reap great benefits and not cost too much.
But there are operators that would baulk at this 'mandated' element as they encourage their crews to do this every day online. Those airlines that discourage this heresy would ask why, what's the point? Sad days for some, happy for others.
