That marketing ploy is the oldest known to mankind. Why do you think Baywatch was the number one most watched TV show for years after it went off the air? Hint: It wasn't for conversation or story line.

UAVs wouldn't be that bad. They still require pilots. They're not in the plane, but sitting firmly on the ground flying via remote control through a big video game. Home every night, eating what they want, etc.. Sign me up!

Also, not all UAVs require pilots. The Global Hawk in the USAF is an automated aircraft. Single operators, not pilots, can control it and dozens of others using a computer keyboard, not a control stick. Picture a dispatcher updating flight plans in real time for several unmanned 747s over the Pacific.
