I would bet - the single pilot airliner will be the next logical step.
Nope, that won't happen either. Those who claim so do not understand some of the fundamental principles behind safety regulation.
it's already the case...putting pay to fly or young cadets in the RHS it's like being a single pilot. If really safety was the number one priority, I don't think paytofly would exist then.
Step by step the first officer will only be a paytofly before becoming a captain.
Economically it's as if as the company operated a single pilot aircraft.
