...Why has she only got two rings on here arms, two rings is a senior cabin crew insignia...

...normally a First Officer has three rings on the arms, not two. Four as captain, three as second officer, two as senior cabin crew and one as junior cabin crew. 25 years in the airline busines I have never seen this before....
I think this may be the way things are done in the states, however in Europe, generally it's two stripes for a junior first officer, 3 stripes for a senior first officer and four stripes for a captain. No stripes for cabin crew!

....These planes fly themselves. The pilot just has to be there in case something goes wrong. They can take off and land by themselves like drones. They can also adjust their course automatically in order to avoid other aircraft detected by their radar...
What a load of tosh, this may well be the way it's done some time in the future, but at the moment everything flying around "except drones" needs the crew to fly them.
