A couple of points for those who think that this ludicrous machine-minder's ticket will be an universal panacea:

1. It will be expensive to the individual as many airlines won't be interested in paying for training. Just as they aren't today.

2. The French are totally opposed to it. One of the few things (such as TGV, the Millau bridge, wine etc) to admire them for. Will they permit a 2-person aircraft to operate over their territory knowing that one pilot might only hold this Microsoft pilot's licence?

3. The FAA don't see any place for it.

4. You wouldn't even be able to take your friends flying in a Cessna 150 on a sunny afternoon without extra training.
