So, the commercial pilot's days are numbered...?

...according to flightglobal.com

Civil freight aircraft will be flown by either a single pilot on board with a remote co-pilot on the ground, or no on-board crew at all within 10 to 15 years, delegates of the ATC Global conference in Amsterdam were told.
I guess this means further downward pressure on wages and salaries in aviation? Like every other industry on earth, expensive-to-run things get engineered out of the system.

Where do the PPRuNers think aviating will be in 20-30 years?
