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.
