Pilotless Aircraft

Pilotless aircraft by 2025?...not a chance in hell. The technology might be ready by then for the airline industry.Then there's years of proving flights and finally convincing the public.
The first airline(s) that go this way will be the first to go out of business. How about you test this theory with family and friends. I have. I know a lot of people and not one said they would take the risk. They would rather go by rail by land or by old school ship across the oceans. In addition,the statement regarding less pilots will be needed. Yes maybe. As if the career choice isn't already comprimised and non appealing to the next generation? Even less will take it up. Another shortage perhaps in the remote control world? It's all relative.
