I understood your post, I was just posting my thoughts on aircraft flexibility, even if the hiring is a wash.

Ours won't have a flight deck. Fred is purchasing them as the first, commercially available, Remotely Piloted Aircraft.

Serious question: why wouldn't it just fit into existing wide body pay?
