Pilots do not manually fly commercial planes; computers handle takeoff and landing while pilots act as custodians.

The pilots will tell you that On any big commercial plane, they're not flying the plane anymore. They pre-program it. The computer takes off. The computer lands. They're just there like custodians. That's why pilots now come back. The co-pilot will be asleep. The captain will be asleep if you're in first class right next to you. And I've just been seeing this the last few years, and I've talked to them, and they said, we don't fly the planes anymore.
