Pilotless Commercial Aircraft

Sorry can't guess if you are for real or taking the piss.

Why do you keep bringing up the jetsons? Also where have you seen a flying car? Before you mention that hideous, unpractical thing they call a flying car stop and think. It's a plane that drives. Hugely unpractical because if you get the slightest ding in it the plane is not airworthy, have to get repaired and you of all people should know how expensive aircraft maintenance is.

That plane is for such a niche market that it will never take off. Excuse the pun.

The 787 an a350 are 2 crew. The next gen 777 and 737 are 2 crew. If they bring up a concept in 10 years it will be 30 before its allowed to fly.

Pilot jobs, in this generation at least, are secure.
