I'm sure someone with a little flying experience could at least bring the thing down to a survivable crash landing, which I accept is somewhat different from being able to nail a greaser in the TDZ, taxi in, start up the APU whilst remembering to kill the taxi light before turning into the gate to perfectly line up with AGNIS.

Modern aircraft are pretty resilient structures these days. All walked from the BA 777 at LHR and most survived the TK 737 crash at AMS. If you can find a suitably large piece of ground and come down at flattish angle at a reasonable speed then your chances of walking away (or at worse hobble) are good.
