you 20 something year old pilots.... pay attention to this trend.

Rather than post the whole DAL side-by-side, one note:
Pay attention to the rigs. Specifically minimum pay per duty period vs. minimum pay for calendar day and how deadhead only duty periods figure into that.
Long story short: Minimum for duty periods can look just fine until they start throwing in 30+ hour layovers - or a day in which you only deadhead. It will kill a trip credit.
Concentrate on a minimum credit per calendar day. I'd personally like to see 6:00. But, you get the idea.

with ADS-C / FANS, we're already 90% of the way there with the necessary data uplink to aircraft, and when you think about it, today more than ever ATC/Controllers control an airplane and pilot NAV is not what it used to be in the 70's and 80's..
I don't like it, but it's just a matter of time before we are flying on 1 and 0 pilot airplanes.

not to derail the thread, but I'd bet 95% of people age 20 and under would in a heart beat.. The comfort with technology is generational.... sure the guys in their late 40's and up might be suspicious but the new generations who grew up with heavy computer automation are far more receptive.. There are already numerous automated trains operating all over the world, and nobody things twice..

I would think that Monday night after doing a missed, holding and shooting another approach to a missed and then diverting to our alternate, our pax appreciate live pilots in the front. We made it in eventually and no one complained. The general consensus was "glad to make it safely."
We go through the motions in the sim, but forget how much work it really is during real life.

Not to mention, that Russian 737 that went missed and nosedived in due to pilot Vertigo would never have happened.

Fair enough, but the same decisions can be made by remote... And most modern airlines have been able to autoland better than their pilots now (my user name CATIII) for decades... the technology is here, it's just a matter of when, not if.
