I haven't read the manual for the 747, but I'm fairly certain that autoland is not done by flipping a single switch.

I'm sorry that she didn't say, "Ask for the process for configuring and engaging the autopilot," when she told the story. She probably thought, "Flip the switch" was sufficiently descriptive that I connect the dots myself. I guess she didn't expect to have the story picked apart by people looking for something to argue with.
