50 years is a long time.... Amazon could invent a transporter machine next year and everything would change...... or age 75 for retirement, or cabotage allowed, or martian attack. Capitalism ensures that companies are continuously looking at ways to do things cheaper/better/with less labor so this job (at the major level at least) will always have potential wolves nipping at your heels.
People need to fly from LA to Boston for $99 each way!

Wait until the public accepts a single pilot up front. I'd bet a beer it won't take 50 years.

The status quo of two pilots upfront is safe for another 20-30 years especially on the PAX front. I’d bet a case of beer on that.

With FedEx and UPS recently spending billions on new 70s/80s technology jets, and no single pilot jet of that scale out there. You can bet it won’t hit cargo in 20-30 years either. It’s more about proven reliability than cutting edge in cargo.

The economic incentive really only exists when going from 2 pilots up front to none. Or so I’ve been told.

And you’re still going to need pilots, they’d just not be in the plane, and maybe monitoring a few planes at a time. Another example, RPA’s in the Air Force are not “drones” they are “remotely piloted” and they have not just a pilot but a sensor operator, so what 1 guy does in the F16 is done by 2 people in an RPA. I just don’t see this as a major cost savings, not for a long time at least.

Delta for sure

Have you taken a real look at Great Lakes?

You’ve got driverless cars killing people, save your beer.

Delta hands down
