I thought that ICAO regulations manadate that aircraft carrying more than just a few passengers commercially must have two pilots - regardless of what MoL says or does.
Regulations require it at this point in time.

Talking with a network rail friend at the weekend I was surprised to learn that its Satellites that control the door opening on trains with driver having an override facility only. Drivers do less and less in the cab and he is suggesting in 15 years there is likely to be no driver what so ever.

The public believe you need a pilot but then again they probably felt 40 years ago that you need a FE as well.

It will be within a couple of years when an airline will have a flight between 2 major cities where apart from shutting the doors the human intervention will only begin when reopening them.

Its not whether we want it or not its when it will happen.
