United flight 232.
If we got every single ask in our current table position, I doubt it would raise a ticket price $10.
Alex I’ll take a plane with a pilot for $1000 please.
A big joke…. Airplanes have and will fly themselves for many decades to come. But hear me now, believe me later…. Joe Public is not going to board a commercial airline without pilots. I fly a very advanced aircraft, the latest and it requires input all the time, even when coupled up. Lloyds of London will not allow and cover any plane that doesn’t have rated pilots up front full time. Keep dreaming. Tesla can’t even handle remote pilot on 2D much less 3D. Can’t wait for the autonomous “air taxis” to start crashing…. Saudia just ordered 100 autonomous air taxis…. Good luck.
