Not just offshore pilots but pretty much all of us in mmmmmmmmm 50 years.
Kmax and the USMC have been using a pilotless machine to sling in supplies in Afghanistan. It's quite amazing to watch, it's slower than a good long liner but this is only the beginning. Automation is the way to go EG. The autopilot on the machine I fly is better than me, it never gets tired, I do!
Anyway I retire in 20 or so years so I think I'll be earning a living until then
