And you know what?
There even was a guy that crossed the ocean with a "compass". => Lindberg in a canvas airframe without heater or aircon and I don't think he had a stewardess to keep him company either.
See where technology has brought us?
To fly? You need a pilot and an airplane. Every line of software is a line too many.
You'll note that Lindberg (and Alcock and Brown) quite literally had the sky to themselves. So technology has brought us the ability to to launch a couple thousand NAT crossings a day.
