I will get in there quick before FL explodes. You’re right with much of what you say but I must take issue with some of it.
You are describing the FJ WSO skill set as if it is something a FJ pilot cannot do.
All current FJ pilots are basically dual (or even triple)-roled. They have been that way for some time now.
So, whilst I agree that many traditional piloting exercises of manual tanking and take offs and landings etc may disappear I think the future human in a manned platform (I struggle to see why we are committing fully to the manned route though to be honest) will still be more akin to a current FJ pilot than an historical FJ WSO.
