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.
As someone who in a previous life worked very intimately with the FAA, I’m in a good position to say that this is not going to happen in the next two to three decades. This was before the political pressure faced by Boeing now that they proved their “computerized safety devices” actually make planes more likely to crash. And that is just talking about one country...now get every country those planes fly over to sign on to a single pilot type certificated wide body.
