I think you need to stop channeling L. Ron Hubbard and step back into reality. Whatever robot F/O your freakshow imagination comes up with will need to be certified by the FAA and EASA before it gets used on a revenue generating flight. There are no shortcuts with that process especially after Boeing tried to sneak their MCAS wunderkind through.
Airbus can probably upgrade one or two more times until it needs a clean sheet also. The Boeing wallet is currently burning because they wanted to save the operators a few bucks on staff costs, will they do it again? The next step of cutting staff costs will be in the new clean sheet designs & they will need to be radical to cover development costs and get market share. There are a few options to start the process, I see no (or small emergency only) windscreens or remote second pilot as options to create a bridge of reduced staff costs. |

As you are aware 737 MAX probably exceeded its limit & should have been a new design. Any way, the entire debate about over whether two pilots should be reduced to one is based purely on the assertion from airline CEOs that pilots are too expensive. Those claims have never been proven, it’s CEO hearsay. |

I feel at a loss.... I just finished my studies here in Adelaide and I'm in debt of around $140,000. All of us in the group are in so much debt and with no prospects. I think I have made a big mistake in my decision honestly.

I don’t think there will be another episode of pandemic hysteria. Despite the fact that the media and the government is still trying to peddle that wheel as fast as they can, behind closed doors they admit the response was seriously flawed and fails the cost/benefit model that socialized medicine usually follows. This was a one time deal..even a real pandemic couldn’t justify the response we’ve had.
On the the other hand there’s still climate change waiting in the wings whether it’s real or imagined, it’s still possible it gets used politically to shoot aviation down again (and modern civilization with it) |
