Fascinating reading this thread along side the "Single Pilot" and "Pilotless" airliner threads...
My thoughts exactly. Given that both the A320Neo and 737Max will still be flying for airlines in 2035-2040's using 80's and 60's technology I think that pilot jobs are pretty safe for the next couple of generations.
What other industry in 2040 will be using designs and technology from the 1960s??!! Goes to show how backward aviation really is! It's 2030 and you are still flying around with no EICAS!
On a serious note it is going to provide a training challenge into the future.
