Airline Pilots Manually Fly Airplanes For 3.5-7 Minutes Per Flight

FuturePundit: Airline Pilots Manually Fly Airplanes For 3.5-7 Minutes Per Flight:
"...Already pilots spend very little time controlling an airplane manually.

Does that make the Airbus pilots lazy?
Or the Boeing pilots overworked?
In a recent survey of airline pilots, those operating Boeing 777s reported that they spent just seven minutes manually piloting their planes in a typical flight. 
Pilots operating Airbus planes spent half that time..."
