I'm guessing you wouldn't be too impressed by Airbus' plans for single-pilot airliners within 10 years and unmanned (ground controlled) within 20?
It's very true that pilots make their money being on hand for when the **** hits the fan, but that doesn't make the day to day operation any less monotonous. There's also the fairly important point that many accidents of late wouldn't have even occurred if not for the pilots' mishandling - not helping our cause to stay relevant!
I'm playing devil's advocate a bit here - but surely you can see the argument for fully automated aircraft? The question is, do your QF32s outweigh your AF447s?
