Please, Never say never.

The airlines are always looking for ways to cut cost & save money & the aircraft manafacturers are on the move in this direction of pilotless drones & the like. Its only a matter of time.

I too am scared of flying & i am a Licensed Aircraft Engineer, i see the errors that pilots make on a daily basis & i personally would feel more comfortable with pilotless aircraft.

Think of 911, if the aircraft were pilotless & on a set GPS tracking controlled only by a ground station then the likely hood of the aircraft being overrun & controlled by terrorist + flown into buildings is next to nil.

Maybe you would like to take back that scenario to you fear of flying school.
