I was positive we'd see drone-based pizza delivery, Door Dash, etc. by now. The future is weird. Most likely I'm wrong, but discussions about this stuff are actually pretty entertaining over a glass of whiskey or coffee.

I spent over 6 years in the RPA business and very little, if anything, of what we did was autonomous. I missed the hell out of manned aviation and I’m happy to be back in it. I want nothing else to do with the RPA world.

Not to take away from the dynamics of trains, as I am sure that they have their own intricacies. Nevertheless, freight trains still have an engineer and a conductor. Nobody has to worry unless one or both are replaced by automation on trains first.

In fully autonomous flight, a datalink failure (by failure, I'm talking someone taking it over with malicious intent) means catastrophic results and by FAA standards the probability needs to be extremely improbable, meaning not a single failure in the operational life of the system.
There is no such technology available.

Let’s keep on topic and speculate on how our potential new masters/owners will treat the pilot group and the rest of Atlas employees-
