I agree with Waco that this is an interesting thread, and I too am watching with interest how the Bae drone technology unfolds - however my 20 year plus experience of leading edge /bleeding edge technology leads me to state categorically that having either just 1 pilot in the cockpit (or none for freight/mail) would undoubtedly results in major accidents. As smart as aerospace companies (and the human race as a whole) are....there is even MORE reason to have 2 pilots to manage and deal with what happens when technology fails as the QF32 crew would tell you - and many others I suspect. I'm sure plenty of others here think the same. The old adage that 'to err is human -but to really screw up, you need a computer' will always apply... and in this case you can also factor in the communications technlogies need to 'remote fly' these aircraft whihc are very reliable...but no system is 100% reliable.....
