Its is not like two pilots in a jet liner would miss something as big as their destination airport.

Not always.

To counteract this Rodolfo Bay decided to fly a flight from Palma to Hamburg with German press on board to get good press for the airline. Unfortunately he landed at the wrong airport in Hamburg."

Yes, it is true, I lived in Hamburg that time. They had big trouble to get the bird into the air again as the runway was way too short.

Schmidt also says that if you want a job in the future you'll have to learn to “outrace the robots,” ...

Stanislaw Lem, EDEN, ... A crew of six crash-land on Eden, fourth planet from another sun. They set forth into a strange world that grows ever stranger. The sun is not completely circular. The desert ground is soft, spongy, it exudes acrid vapors. Thickets of plants are shaped like hanging spiders; trees, violet and blue, breathe noisily; flower petals lift into the air like a flock of startled pigeons. The men come to a wall that moves in rhythmic waves; they enter an automated factory where mysterious objects are created, destroyed, and created again in a meaningless cycle.

Final state after the problem that robots do not buy was not properly fixed.
