Who pulls circuit breakers on equipment that overheat, spark or catch fire in flight?
Who flies the aircraft when the communication systems are hacked, experience a denial of servive or experience interferrence from weather, storms, space etc.etc.?
Already we are seeing GPS spoofing as a growing threat. Even with pilots in the cockpit, how does Nautilus overcome a GPS spoof which attacks, degrades or down right fails the navigational system?

I have been shouting from the rooftops that pilotless aircraft was coming and got nothing but "It wil never happen in my lifetime" comments. IT is coming much much faster than anyone thought and here it is. Right the unions is in contract negotiations after the last TA was denied. The company is back working with the union but you can bet they have one eye on this. Maybe this will not make it to passenger operations but I would not bet on it. I am out of the game, too old, and do not fly unless I have no alternative so it will not affect me.
One of my good friends son is in the Air Force flying drones in the Middle East from his desk in the U.S. The technology is here, it is just a matter of refining it for commercial operation.

There's so many situations in which having a pilot onboard can prevent or preempt many emergencies. If we leap into using drones, we are accepting a significant decrease in safety. The military's safety record with them is damning.
Are pilotless airplanes or remotely piloted airplanes coming? Yes. But there is NO WAY the public or the regulators are going to accept a safety record like that.
