Not my answer, the thought is abhorrent but
I have no doubt it will happen

Single pilot airliners within 30 years and pilotless within 50
I think you're right.......................
I think that the times will be shorter: Uber Elevate is pushing for pilotless air taxis in 10 years. Several airlines check FOQA to make sure that the pilots didn't take over manually at any time, some insist that landings are automatic. Statistics are already being put forward with the argument that self-driving cars are so much safer that they should be mandatory.
The world is changing rapidly
