You are all in denial. The pilot less/remote controlled airliner is the future. To the naysayers, who rabbit on about pilots being the required defence against blundering in to Cbs etc,..hello... think about how that can also be avoided by ground control with radar and satellite imagery. Even that could be totally automatic, if need be. Ditto with traffic and terrain avoidance. So what is not to like about removing the weakest and most usual cause of accidents?
If someone had told the crowd watching the bicycle mechanics' efforts at Kittyhawk not that long ago that within 60 or so years we would be orbiting the planet in space and not long after walking on the moon, most would have said that was never likely, either.
