Figures. His only chance at landing a 777 all year and he's got to do the autoland.
That's funny and may even be true. I've always given away a lot more landings that I've taken. I only take one per month, give the other two to the F/O's. Nobody is getting many landings when there are always 4 pilots and only two landings.

I was an F/O on the MD11 so I know how hard it is to get a landing, that's why I give away 2 out of 3. The good news is, if you've spent a lot of time on the 767/757, you don't need many on the 777 to stay sharp, it's the same thing, only easier!
