I read the article, but I don't believe for a moment 'pilots' will operate the aircraft from the ground....i think you do, and i apologize for not making it clear that the article is pure hype, imho.
A security guard at a midnight shift monitors perhaps a dozen CCTV screens for twelve dollars an hour. When something goes wrong, he calls police.
Why hire the same pilots you evicted from the cockpit to sit at a counter eating Taco Bell to 'fly' the same aircraft?
CATIIIb doesn't need flying, it certainly doesn't need 'monitoring'.
Are you thinking we are returning to hand flying? But from the ground? One step forward, two steps back.
Thanks Meeb.
