So he just inflated the autopilot? On the plus side, at least now he has an idea how it all goes down.

I don't know how to transfer funds from an offshore account. Somebody wanna lend me some money and advice?

When you fly with Foster Brooks Charter Airline, things like this can happen.

He probably just hit the "Land Me" button, which I've used myself in Flight Simulator.

Don't they know the pilot should never eat the fish?

Passenger: "I have no idea how to fly a plane."
Controller (doing his best Al Giordino impression from the movie Sahara): "Consider this your flight training. It's kind of pass-fail, which I always thought was easier."
