Still you take off, blow one flying raw data; they go Back and look at the FDR, what you think they’d say? “Did we train you to fly a take off like that”?
All it takes is one little incident for them to see you messing around in THEIR airplane. Even after turning the autopilot on after losing an engine, they CAN still come back and screw you over something like this.
Do I believe pilots should remain proficient in flying the plane? Heck yeah, but don’t get cocky. At the end of the day your responsible for the people in the back and not your credibility on the Internet. I say this becuase a few monthes back had an FO, total thinks he’s the captain type, find him “practicing his CA flows” sitting in the left seat even before he’s been awarded the CA Spot and still hasn’t, liked to take off the autopilot at 10000 feet to stay proficient and bragged about how he thinks everyone should be able to do a single engine raw data etc and does all his take offs raw data. When i say to him I don’t want him doing that, he argues with me, tells me to show him where it says don’t do it etc.
