Since this is the UPS forum, I think it’s appropriate to point out that we operate under the rest rules of our CBA, not the less restrictive FARs. Unless we concede those rules (and the FARs are changed) in negotiations or a rival company implements a hugely economically advantageous no pilot or single pilot operation nothing will change. These threads come up to fear monger periodically and are interesting thought experiments, but the horse has already been turned to glue. There are some technological and significant political barriers to implementation of these flights of fancy. Good career plans are not based on flights of fancy.
