Interesting interview with Mike Sinnett of Boeing... and probably a bit more balanced and realistic then some news reports and some poster's wild predictions

From: Not an RJ driver anymore
I hope you're right; following social media and CNN and Fox News, I'm convinced people want 1st Class service, 1st Class lifestyle, and 1st Class safety, but don't want to pay for it. Safety doesn't matter to people as much as cheap tickets.

Exactly. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
What amuses me most are the elitist, shining path know-it-alls who puke this twaddle for the supposed benefit of the marginalized masses. Zuckerberg & Musk specifically. Anything but equal in anything they do. Out there hiring just anybody to laser edge their competitive advantages? Chit no. Intensely aware , even at a point where tech capabilities advance to gratify every possible whim as fast as you might dream one up, any hope of further discovery dies the moment everyone is qualified equal simply because they manage to eat and use a toilet. Assuming of course those tasks remain necessary in the utopian Neverland of universal basic income & the 797.

Far from it. Communism is an economic system in which the state/public owns the means of production and that there is no private ownership.
I was talking about an income subsidy (if you want to call it "wealth distribution", go ahead) that will be necessary if unskilled labor jobs gets automated out of existence.

So yes, you are advocating communism when you talk about wealth redistribution because you are wanting to government to steal from people and give it to others.

That's exactly what I'm going to tell you... because a computer COULD do that.. and not submerge the aircraft in the process.
A computer wouldn't need to take time to ask the controller where are the surrounding airports; it would already know. It wouldn't have to call for and run checklists; they would be completed in a blink of an eye. It wouldn't have to take a wild ass guess on whether it could make a return back to La Guardia to land on a runway instead of on a river; it would know precisely how far it could glide given the state of the aircraft and the environmental conditions.
I'm not knocking Sully. He did a great job. Far better than most human pilots could have. But better than a computer? Nah

I also wonder what would have happened had a system similar to DARPA's ALIAS been in the right seat of COLGAN 3407 instead of a ill, sleep deprived FO. Not completely removing the human in this scenario but keeping the human from making human mistakes.

Here is some logic for you: when the government can just take your money any time they want, you don't own it, they do, thus communism.
So yes, you are advocating communism when you talk about wealth redistribution because you are wanting to government to steal from people and give it to others.

( I suspect that you won't understand that)
