She looked qualified to me.

Reminds me a 1994 Aeroflot A310 accident in which a young child took control of the plane. I think it may have been the captain’s child.

Sounds like a flashback to the 1960's when there were stories about stewardess landing commercial airlines.

Are we sure it was a revenue flight and not a repositioning flight? A fair amount of these aircraft are cargo only, so for the sake a’cool’ factor, the narrative of the actual circumstances may have been embellished

Judging from the limited view of the panel, the airplane is at least twice as old as the ab initio copilot. Definitely not a MAX, so they're all safe. sarc. font drum roll for the blue hair down votes. Cheers!
