Sure, they might throw a pilot up there for a year to appease people, but when it comes it is coming for us all. This new generation might hesitate to get a drivers license, but they’ll have no issues getting on an autonomous airplane....especially at a discount! Bottom line - nothing to worry about until those autonomous feeders start operating so unless you are 16 I think you would be crazy to leave FedEx.
