Messiah unfortunately I don't think the likes of Geoff Dixon and Co see it that way. If they can cut the cost of pilots they will. Even the current costs of pilots is a drop in the ocean in terms of hourly operating costs, yet they are hell bent on slashing wages/conditions.
However I cannot imagine insurance companies being big fans of this idea. Wouldn't want to be the guy who signs off that premium. Also who in CASA will be willing to sign off the computer for his 500 Multi dispensation??
