Here's my 'unexperty' prediction: there will be a spike in acft accidents in the next two decades due to appalling training quality of pilot factories and lack of experienced pilots (from zero to hero, skipping some basic maths in between). The future captain will be either a guy who started flying A320 when he was 16, 'cos his parents owned one, or a guy, who was a fitness coach, saved some money, and paid for his job.
Another interesting thing to see will be the public reaction, when a first loco crashes (God forbid). And the reaction of the Irishman.
So I predict grim couple of decades, but then, the conditions could improve.
