And I am full aware that no matter where your hand is placed, most important is to grease the ground ...
Actually, the most important thing is to land it on the runway, preferably with enough room to stop... I'd much rather have a "firm" landing in the box, than a "greaser" half way down an 8000' strip of concrete.

Other than that, one hand on the yoke; one hand on the throttles. Even in full autoland, the throttles must be "guarded" in case of go-around and to pull up the reverser levers after landing (744).
