Metadalek, that is a brilliant post!
Summed up perfectly too, with the bit about percentages.
I feel that we are seeing the last generation of pilots commencing their flying lessons today who will actually finish their careers flying large aircraft.
Humans may fly turboprop aircraft to regional destinations and in the third world for a generation or two beyond that because the costs of smaller aircraft total automation will probably remain unaffordable for longer.
Also, when a turboprop augers in somewhere in Africa and kills 50 people the legal fallout is not likely to concentrate minds as much as the first A380 crash to be caused by pilot error will.
