Just because technology exists doesn't automatically mean that it is going to be adopted on a scale that will make fundamental changes to the way flying is conducted. With the conservative approach taken to getting new technology certified in aviation then it will definitely be later rather than sooner before single pilot and zero pilot airliners are crossing vast amounts of international airspace. On top of that the planet is going to be cooked by 2030 according to the UN and air travel is going to have a lot more to worry about than replacing two biological, non-binary autopilots with their digital AI equivalents.
I see a future where there aren't a lot of us in it. No-one has a job as such, we don't want for anything and are truly equal. Treated more like exotic pets. An AI and machines that do everything, taken for granted and only a very few think how cool is that.
