I am pretty sure I can land a commercial airliner.

By which I mean push the right buttons on the computers to set the plane up to land itself.

'Cause, y'know, I have only loose theoretical knowledge of flying, but I am a gorram twelfth level master of beep boop.

@cerebrate unfortunately autoland systems are still at the “specialist training needed” level.

And I don’t mean bureaucratically, I mean that if you enter one digit wrong you’re a streak on the tarmac.

If there is one thing my career has prepared me for, it's following detailed procedures precisely and not making single-digit slipups that lead to disaster.
