Cool Autolandings?

Hi all,

My mate and i have been arguing for about 2 weeks about what pilots do when landing a airliner like the 747. What i mean is do pilots let the autoland system on the aircraft land or do you land manually, like me in my C152.

My mate has said that his friend who is a pilot for a big airline, almost never lands manually and only practices them on occasions eg. once a month. I say that most landings are manually done and autolandings are only practised on occasions to keep current.

So what do you say???
