Excellent point well made.....
Air Researcher
Also excellent points. However, I can see huge further leaps in automation to come. I do think there will always be two people at the pointed end. However their ability to influnce directly the opertion of the craft will diminish as will the T&C's for the people concerned.
If the insurance companies are happy with such operation and operating efficancy can be so improved (as I beleive wil be the case) The future of T&C's will undoubtedly diminish, considerably.
PS how long before airlines only employ captains and have the RHS occupied on an internship basis ?
