Seriously?

Drones? Are you at all serious or are you a troll? Drones, in case you didn't know, don't carry up to 300 people at a time. And if they crash, no one gives a big steaming pile of dog waste, precisely as there was not 1 POB.

Given just a few of the above examples, and not reverting to a ludicrous comment about drones, enlighten us all about how automation has ever saved the day? QF001 was human error, it happens unfortunately, but when the automation cocks up and if the pilots had not saved the day then how many more crashes would there have been? A great many.

And I could not agree more with 404's post regarding Greenlights rubbish. I, as a professional pilot, just cannot see, with all the myriad challenges faced every day, how an airplane with no pilots could manage in a busy, weather affected airport, as one small example. There are so many variables we deal with that vary on every single flight, there is just no way they can all be thought of and catered for.
