Why build pilotless aircraft when Ryanair and Southwest can charge you to fly them?
If your remotely maintained aircraft is an A320, what the fu*k am I doing out in the rain at 4 am. If it could really fix itself it wouldn’t break in the first place would it.
After a hard day avoiding stationary objects and saving the day with your decision making, or checklist to the rest of us, don’t worry about those who are allowed to fix the bloody things, it all happens automatically now days.
