IMHO, flying from a set position, with passengers up there, would be possible somehow (isnt it already? Ive seen things on discovery about it). I do not think many passengers would like it tho! Perhaps, this would be a good poll to do!?!
Also, pilots are where they are now because of their love of flying, and not just the money, whether they think they earn a lot or not....so to suddenly fly a plane with 40 people on it like your son is on flight sim at home is NOT fun at all, and will kill the industry I think.
This hi-tech business just doesnt stop does it !! At least let humans do SOMETHING instead of sitting at home pressing buttons
Smooth skies all (unless you are flying from home
)
