This was also exactly what I was thinking. It's so hard to predict when humans will create AI capable of taking a majority of peoples jobs. who knows how long this is going to take. I do believe if the pilot shortage is actually as bad as the media makes it out to be they will look at what the most economical choice is. Remember that the shortage isn't supposed to be at full force for about 5 more years or so.That's a lot of time when it comes to tech, by then Tesla and others will for sure have AI capable of self driving cars.
