I am interested to know where this Captain will come from?
Anyone with a title Captain is too expensive, that’s not gonna work. What we may need instead of flight crew is a human, performing monitoring function on automatics (which is 95% of todays flight crew job anyway). We can get back those System Panel Operators which we had in place of flight engineers when requirements have changed.
