As if a plane could do without two pilots! I still think they should have navigators and flight engineers. Hell, I’m worried about the safety reduction in not having a radio operator.
Wonder why we don’t have them?
It doesn’t even need to be AI, what’a one of the things you do when there’s an engineering fault? Call ground engineers who have up to date info on aircraft systems. You could very easily have a ground pilot to assist with workload for those first 5 mins.
