Drones ? Etc ? "never happen ?"

Lets remember that the FE is a critical component of the flight crew and while the regional nature of the B-737 and DC-9s which have come into the fleet may be without one, the international and/or overwater nature of our B-707, 747, DC-8, L-1011, and DC-10 aircraft will always require one due to the international mission and associated challenges.
