Many captains I fly with think they can hand fly it from 10000, and while some can very well, I'd say the majority of the time I'm having to remind them of things on the way down, also having to remind them of what act said. And I dont think I've ever seen anyone do it as smooth as George can. In my opinion if cleared for the visual have at it, when needing to comply with altitude, and speed restrictions, why wouldn't you want the highest level of automation to help out.
In regards to "a smooth as George", I know quite a few who are smoother. They have achieved the moniker of Human Autopilot.

There is a flip side to that. I’ve been the lucky recipient of Mr. Toads wild ride several times by F/O’s insisting on hand flying starting at 20-30k on the descent. Im sure the pax were wondering what the hell was going on up front so be careful what you wish for.
Some can pull it off while many can’t.

I still handfly departures up to 10K. Don't need a cookie though.

For years I handflew, raw data, almost every visual approach from about 5000' down. These were usually smaller airports without much vectoring. Now coming into ORD on a Wednesday afternoon bank, screw that. Until about 1000-2000'. But that's just me.

I didn’t see anything on LATA or UA’s site about it so I guess it is halted. It figures as I wanted to get more information on it for when I have my CFI.

Still on the Lata website, but application link has been removed. Hope it was stopped but I highly doubt that’s the case.
