Oh that simple? A week? Why aren't these fielded and bought today then?
Right now the redundancy for the captain having a heart attack is a trained copilot in the other seat. Under your pipe dream, which shockingly many pilots on here seem to support and god knows why - the redundancy would be a ground controller subject to the same vulnerabilities as RPAs today. Why would you think that is acceptable or even feasible for passenger aircraft?
