Yep, you read that right. Nearly a third of blokes reckon they could step into the cockpit and safely land a commercial jet with zero training. Another 50% are confident they could nail it if they had radio guidance. Naturally, this spiralled into a full-blown debate about flight sims, air crash investigation episodes, and whether Dutch courage would actually help. Listeners chimed in with their own “I could do that with no experience” jobs, from dental nurse to midwife to window cleaner, and one even thought they could do our job. Spoiler: they gave it a crack, and the landing was not smooth.
