However, the 777 will yell at you if you forget the gear. Hell, that thing will yell at you if you forget to pluck your nose hair.

Eventually, the 777 will say, "Keep your cotton-pickin' hands offa the controls on final, buddy, you planted me WAY too hard last week at LAX."

The 777 will do the touchdown on it's own, pull the reversers, set and modulate the brakes, pop spoilers, count down ground speed, bring up the flaps and engage nose gear steering if you want it too.

In 5 years, I want to be the first First Officer, to put one down at an airfield with a naked flight attendant in my lap, appreciating the turbulence.
