Yes

Hell yes I am a nervous old fart.

My kid went from Schipol to Vancouver (and return) on a KLM MD-11 after a feeder flight on a KLM Fokker RJ. That put him off aviation...really, no joke. If I had known that I would not have let him go. Until then he was quite keen.

I really don't like only two people on the flight deck either. No one can convince me that automation will ever be better than three crew.

I want FOUR hands on the yokes and another two on the throttles. I want a full instrument panel for the engineer with total command over the flight management system. Six eyes, six hands and three brains.

"future options for your world travels may be a little restricted"

Don't think so, I am not xenophobic, I like surface travel. I really don't relish air travel much anymore.
