Co-pilot gets sick, stewardess helps land airplane

Doesn't matter how many hours I have. A 747 without engines is a

If you can be an authority without any hours in a 747 or glider, why can't I
know anything from study and simulation?
It' was Sully's glider rating that got him down.
That's not what Sully said.
The basics of flying is the same, you pull back on the stick you
go up? You push forward, you go down. A 747 with 4 dead engines
is the same as the Blanic I fly.
I asked you how many hours you have in a 747 because you appear to have no
knowledge of the aircraft, particularly if you believe that a 747 without
engines is just a glider. Large airliners are very complex, even when the
engines are not running, and even an expert glider pilot will be in a heap of
trouble if he has to fly one of them without any knowledge beyond his gliding
skills.
