I don't know how Boeing Guy does it!

BG does it every day, I don't think I could stand the excitement.

The dials, levers, switches, knobs, the info you have to process, the decisions. Between 525 to 853 people and your crew depending on you.
No wonder he's tested and given a medical twice a year.
Pilot's View Of Airbus A380 Approach And Landing At San Francisco

It's a bit of a long watch but worth it- see the ground staff salute at the end(and notice the music!).

They may get a bit of a break on autopilot but take off and landing-and the occasional emergencies in between-you've got to admire professionals such as these.
