Yeah right. People’s enthusiasm for this fairy land stuff is in inverse proportion to their operational experience. Physically handling the aircraft is about 5% of what an airline pilot does. I wonder if an enthusiastic PhD student has ever followed a domestic crew on , say, a 4 sector per day, 4 day trip and added up the critical decisions made from sign-on to sign-off. It would be an interesting exercise. Just boarding, getting the doors closed, pushing back and taxiing to the hold point would be beyond automation. Ain’t gunna happen.
