Yes of course they do. Night single pilot IFR pilots fly smaller miserably equipped aircraft in the most difficult of conditions. They tend to have the lowest of experience and yet they have the most difficult job. Many do crash however the majority do just fine and move on to fly a fully automated boredom chamber with skills honed by years of real flying.

An RJ can practically fly itself. Two highly skilled hands on IFR pilots are unnecessary. It is like two engineers who work in unison to tie their shoes one leg at a time. One does the tying while the other re-reads the instructions for the 1000th time and intensely watches to insure that no steps are missed.

A well trained monkey could do it and the market is beginning to reflect that. The Seneca pilot should make a fortune. Perhaps one day that will be the case?
