Dude that was an attack. Get off your high horse with respect to hand flying raw data. There is a lot going on while flying such an arrival or departure that needs to be managed. The autopilot/flight director are tools to lessen your workload so that you don't miss some other important factors (like miss a crossing restriction in a non-VNAV equiped airplane). Most of us don't see a need to keep going around blabbering about how Sierra Hotel we are. We fly the airplane and get the job done. I highly suggest you read this article from APC. You are coming arcross sounding like a punk kid pilot mill grad.

To answer your question, yes I am perfectly capable of flying said arrival by hand if need be. I generally don't hand fly during the arrivals though because both pilots tend to get task saturated. The PM is often busy getting the ATIS, calling in range, briefing the pax and FAs, and loading the approach(after the third runway change of course). Our SOP does not permit the PF to manipulate the guidance panel when hand flying (doesn't mean it doesn't happen) and he can't do all of those things at the same time. I'll throw my salvo back, you fly for SkyWest, have you ever operated in the Northeast in the winter?
