This is a thing that non-aviators often don't realize about aviation in general: the hard part is designing the artifacts and processes so that by the time you get around to operations, everything is routine and nothing is hard. Flying, building and maintaining airplanes seems hard, but that's mainly because of the volume of stuff you need to know, not because any single item is particularly difficult. All aircraft are built, maintained, and flown by mere mortals. (The designers, on the other hand... ;-)

It's not just aviation. Our entire industrial civilization works like that, and this is the only reason why it can work. We are surrounded by high-precision machinery even in daily life, and are completely oblivious to just how much technomagic it is - and how much historical effort went into building the industry up to the point where it can produce such things so easily and cheaply.
