At many foreign airlines they actually have a hard written rule like no handflying above 10k (for example). There's no excuse for pulling the stick back and holding it there in the cruise flight levels.
Ha, my larger concern is preventing an accident.
That second part is not as widely spread as you might think. Recall that many U.S. carriers had rules like that until very recently, or at least strong recommendations. Now they recommend hand-flying, but how much is really done outside of climbing to maybe 10,000' or sometime late in the approach prior to landing? Seriously.
