Unmanned Control Towers?
Will they test this concept at airports that handle mostly cargo airplanes?

Saw that article…..interesting. There was a link in that article that sent you to the BBC website and it listed a bunch of occupations and the probability of them being taken over in the next twenty years by automation or robots………Pilot….only 25% chance to be taken over in the next 20 years by automation…….I thought it would be a little higher. I was glad to see this.
