This definitely concerns me. Also, the idea that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ is disconcerting as the pilot shortage (pay shortage??) deepens. But there’s so many practical things to overcome and the carrot (reduced labor costs) aren’t nearly as significant to the bottom line as many perceive them to be. There’s plenty of inputs going both ways toward unmanned aviation, but the fact that so many of you scoff at the question is reassuring.
