I'd dare to speculate it will have to be either fully automated or operated by two pilots. Mixing philosophies is a dangerous thing.
However we are not at fully automated for passenger flights and won't be for some time. The most likely thing to happen first might be some unmanned "slave" aircraft, like a freighter, following some manned aircraft in automated close formation like a bot.
