They actually changed to rule back to the original rule and now leave it up to the individual airline.

.The European Aviation Safety Agency, which was behind the original rule change, relaxed the requirements last year to allow individual airlines to evaluate their own safety needs.

BDL said that its airlines had "independently" reviewed the rules and decided that the two-person rule had no safety benefits - and could actually be more dangerous.

I would. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they spun off Prime. That’s pennies on the sidewalk for Amazon.

I am also no expert.
Yes. I've been saying for years, if you need one pilot you need two pilots. Single pilot is not an option. Now, fully automated might be a thing some day. But that's down the road enough this 40 something isn't worried about it.
