Have you read the previous 10 pages? Nobody is talking about a "pilot-less" jet, and anytime in the near future for that matter. What the thread the "OP" started, and is trying to highlight, is if it's possible for airlines to reduce the amount of crews actually required on the airplane due to "augmented" crews operating the aircraft from a "remote" location.
There will ALWAYS be pilots aboard aircraft. Will the required number be reduced by "remote operations"? Maybe.
