Sucks to read this rubbish but i tell people all the time i could teach a 5 year old to fly a 70 year old airplane straight and level without autopilot. The autopilot is to a pilot what a spreadsheet is to an office manager. The job is still there to be done, and doing it the hard way only serves to distract the manager's attention from everything else going on in the office. A pilot who believes that the autopilot is "doing everything for me" is not yet a true pilot.
