797 Schematics already had a Left seat only variant, Box in the right. Delayed by this current event but you can bet it will happen, maybe not tomorrow but within 10 years it’s highly plausible or 15 whatever. That’s half of the workforce sliced off the cake as PTB mentioned. If not half, at least a third.... Not discussing pilotless, like Fred who has been a top investor in such motivations (“not a pipe-dream”). Business is business.
