Exactly my views. As pilots we forget that commercial aviation is a business first, everything else comes after that because a failed airline sends every one home. Safety of single pilot operation cannot be considered in isolation but is a comparable issue. Will it be safer than present situation? Accident happen with machines also but will they be less than due to errors of humans in the seat? Most pilot don't take this into consideration. I am repeatedly saying that pilot has to justify his presence in the cockpit. If one looks at the crashes that are happening in General Aviation and part 135 it's bad news. Passengers will travel if fares are cheap. Many will take as an adventure.
