Airliners are not flown by pilots. They are fully automated machines flown by computers.
NASA has already declared airline pilots to be redundant. The only real reason for having airline pilots is legal liability and to reassure the public.
An A380 (and any other modern airliner) can take off, fly to it’s destination and land safely without the pilot touching the controls.
The credit for the recent QANTAS landing is 99% due to to the Airbus software not the pilots.
Nice to see the average brain cell count of the population is still in decline..... (Now, where is that automatic take off button?
)
