Answer 1:
After the flight's routing is decided (this is planned before the pilots arrive to the aircraft), the pilots enter all their waypoints into a very complex computer. The enroute portion of the flight is mostly controlled by computers with pilot's info.
The common misconception is that pilots no longer have to do anything but watch the airplane fly itself. This is not true: pilots have to know what to do in case something (or everything) fails. They are also in complete charge of push back (from the gate), taxi, take off, landing, and taxiing again. Among communications and other major and minor events during the flight.
Answer 2:
I wish my plane had a very complex computer to put my way points into and it would just fly to it.
Though some planes do have a flight computer, some (not all) of the General Aviation (GA) airplanes have GPS (not unlike your car) and auto-pilots. You can do your flight planning on maps (sectionals) and fly your plane by just maps, timer, and dead reckoning. This way is not fun on long trips, but all pilots learn how to fly this way.
