While airlines have long used automation safely to improve efficiency and reduce pilot workload, several recent accidents, including the July 2013 crash of Asiana Airlines flight 214, have shown that pilots who typically fly with automation can make errors when confronted with an unexpected event or transitioning to manual flying.
At what point did they transition to manual flying. They weren't flying at all.
Name one recent accident not involving an automation-killing upset where pilots couldn't fly the plane? The problem is response to upset and startle-effect human factors, not manual flying skills.

The Asian pilots WERE flying- don't say they weren't. They were doing everything BUT watching the airspeed (a most basic skill). But given that one pilot admitted he was scared to land manually and that they didn't follow the basic fundamental procedure of watching their airspeed is evidence that hand flying skills were lacking.
And bullcrap when you ask us to name ONE crash where the pilots didn't know how to fly (Yeah, they knew how to fly, but hand flying appeared to be a foreign concept in how they addressed the situation.)
We don't have to "name one incident where the pilots couldn't fly the plane" because it's way too easy to find incidents where hand flying would easily have saved the day, yet the pilots were somehow reluctant or uncomfortable reverting to manual flying.
As Tee Vee says, it goes hand in hand.
As most of the world except Evan says, "Some increased emphasis on hand flying might be a good thing" so that when the startle effect happens, click clack paddywhack is towards the top of the FCOMPOHQRH memory checklists 1.1.1.1 to 287.12.5.13. and for 737-200 AND 737-236A and C172 M, N, P, S, and 747 and 787 and A3XX and it's not a foreign concept to pilots.

US Pilots Forget How to Fly Manually
then, yes, you do.

...by the way, from reading a certain aviation periodical, I have learned that at least one airline now apparently includes "a trip around the pattern" done totally by hand as part of their recurrent simulator training.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

And apologies, indeed the title of the article is BS. I know how they like to embellish things.
That being said, I thought Eric was more interested in the bigger gray fundamental, over-riding concept of hand flying skills versus ingrained, near-relentless use of automation and the humor that, once again, it makes headlines (and recent articles in a poorly-written aviation periodical from a small, country with minimal importance to aviation).Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

look, dating back to the 80's, we've had fully automated flight, including auto-land. back then, an md-80 pilot told me the plane could do just about everything on its own, but company regs prohibited them from utilizing the FULL automation. so maybe he exaggerated a bit. i imagine that with today's tech, everything from push-back to parking can be fully automated--if it isn't already.
