Most younger people seem to get this, it's the 55 and up crowd who lives in denial over it. But that's okay, they won't be a part of the workforce when it happens anyway.
Nothing you are saying is correct.
All it takes is one heart attack, one stroke, one mistake from a single pilot airplane to kill 200 people. The cost for a new airplane design that would require only one pilot would far exceed the cost of the way we do it now, which is not only extremely efficient, but also extremely safe.
Don't say "costs". Removing one pilot would save about 3% of an average ticket price. But airlines would just keep prices the same and make more profits.
Bill Gates is a boomer. Jeff Bezos is a Boomer. Steve Jobs was a boomer. Even Elon Musk is an older GenX. They and other boomers and the technology they invented are largely the reason we live in the world we live in now. To say they have a "boomer mentality" is ridiculous. You think you have "figured it out" but you understand very little and its obvious.
