"You could, I gather, land a 777 single-handed - but it would require a lot of effort and it would appear [in this case there was] a very young co-pilot - so if there was another one, that would help. "
I raised a similar question earlier, given the level of automation on a 777, would it *really* be "difficult" to land?
I'd consider the plane was designed for a "one pilot down" type of emergency and hence would not be unduly difficult to put down?
