I hear what you say. But on my day on the B744 my co pilot could if he chose, on a day like that, manually fly the aircraft from any time in the descent through to parking the aircraft.
I reckon that is a better way at retaining ones handling skills, than tweaking the side stick at 100 ft after the Capt had flown the aircraft to 1000ft or below.
But I'm a ROF so what do I know?
