How many hours to to trainee’s have to hand fly airplanes when they are in school?

I watch Air Disasters and I have seen at least a half a dozen times where pilots pitched up right after a stick shaker. The instinct should be the exact opposite.

I would rather have a pilot with military pilot experience in any plane I’m flying in. It may not be as true as it used to be because a lot of military aircraft are heavily automated now too, but I believe they get a lot more training with manual control
