Good points ATC Watcher thank you. As just a lowly private pilot and self loading freight I don't think I would ever board a long distance commercial flight with one pilot in the front, no matter what the level of "electronic assistance" was available. I'm ok with solo bush piloting, solo short helicopter trips etc, but with GermanWings and now of course the anniversary of 09/11 coming up a solo pilot on a typical commercial flight is just inviting terrorism.
