It looks like the old joke of the new flight deck crew of a dog and a pilot is getting closer to reality.

It wouldn't have been too long ago and if you told navigators and engineers that they would be replaced by something the size of a shoe box or smaller they would have laughed at you.

The US military is already using pilotless aircraft so it's only a matter of time before it creeps into civilian aircraft.

Guys and girls ,make hay while the sun shines.
