Multiply that by 10 and i'd agree, otherwise about the only change you'll see in 5 years is joint ventures, mergers, possibly cabotage or federally sponsored training "pipelines".

And maybe age 70.

Also the unmanned trains on tracks you mentioned and the auto car of the future both have something airplanes do not: a safe place to stop when the electricals go kaput.
