No pilots, no need for that system. Chicken and the egg kinda thing.

Set an altitude below the EGPWS floor for that area and it stops. No matter what you do. "I can't let you do that, Dave".

And don't say shut the engines down. Without abnormal indications the computer won't let you do that, either.

Jeez you guys are so last century thinkers.

Think about how a drone works. You turn it on, without ever operating one. It knows where it is. You tell it to go to xyz, it takes off, flies, and returns and lands all on its own.

That is where we are headed. The technology exists. It works. The only thing stopping it is regulations.

How did that work out for the radio operator, navigator, or flight engineer?

Not to mention, if you think about it, your argument for having TWO pilots is because one might fly it into the ground.

IMO, that is a reason to have ZERO pilots. In the same line of thinking, since the vast majority of accidents these days are pilot error, that is also a reason to have ZERO pilots - it will improve safety.

And every soccer game is lost because a goalie missed a save. So we should get rid of goalies cause it’s goalie error. See the problem with the logic?

You aren't getting it. And I don't want to discuss why on a public forum.

Learning from others mistakes (and your own) is very beneficial in our job.

Yes, it is disturbing. And it's coming.

My UAV bud tells me the horror stories of how the software engineer types do updates to code overnight but then neglect to let the operators know because it's over there head. Seems we've reached that point as well.

That doesn't make any sense. In my example you would remove the players so no goal can be scored.
