I’m not arguing it’s not the future, I think we all know it is. But the timescale is something that people on here are wildly underestimating here. When the transition comes it’s not going to be from two pilots to one, one pilot is far more dangerous than than two regardless of technology to help mitigating errors (just look at Germanwings, Egyptair, Malaysian?), we cant even stay logged on to CPDLC for more than five minutes so how is this magical ground to air connection going to provide uninterruptible failsafe help at hand? It’s going to have to be straight to pilotless. We’re multiple decades away from that even now.
