I lost my skills after I left the MD-80/90 program at Boeing Even those were a step down from my DC-9 days, which were a step down from my EMB-110 days. I did do a perfect descent and landing this morning though

Best way to keep your skills = hand fly, hand fly, hand fly. No Autopilots, No flight Directors, No Autothrottles. Unfortunately some airlines do not allow you to disconnect the automation to that extent.
