That's fantastic advice and technique, but unfortunately the way we breed pilots in the modern industry is to not practice the principles of flight, but to comply-comply-comply in the hope that the robust SOPs and reliable automated flight decks don't go wrong. Unfortunately, they do and we have lost that 'natural' feel of how an aircraft flies (expected pitch, power etc) to fall back on.
Shame your last line couldn't be incorporated into the first chapter of the FCTM, but it would be lost on most young newbies ;-)
