You're on today's FlyDubai flight. The co-pilot attacks the captain and tries to crash the plane. Passangers subdue the co-pilot. The captain is unconscious. There are no other pilots on the plane, so you sit down in the cockpit. Can you land the plane?

How so? Saudi ATC can talk you through it. I'd have a pretty good shot. You just need to descend slowly, line up with the runway, and get the landing gear down.

Watch when mentour pilot did this with Tom Scott it took hime like 6 or 7 tries and that's with a 737 instructor coaching him not just any random other pilot.
the 737 is literally a 50 year old air frame that still uses prehistoric shit to control shit, thats cause this is BIRDSHIT tech not gorgeous CHINK tech
those controls are easy to figure out, it’s mostly automated. a chimpanzee could land that sucker.
the stewardess on the plane would have some training for these situations - I’d make her the new copilot and then just focus on sticking the landing and whether other planes are landing at that particular time - you have to follow the air traffic people
