Why on earth would anyone want to quit a US legacy airline for NAI????

The current regulations do not allow a 121 aircraft with less than two pilots be certified, FoC removes that requirement. That's our only protection, as this technology is available today, not in the future.

I agree with you. However, getting on a plane with no pilot will be a bridge to far for some people. After the German wings incident I'd say a plane with two pilots will be required for a while. AI will be able to replace us, but I'd give it 20-30 years before we need to worry about it.

Now if I were a truck driver I'd be cr@piping my pants right now.

Here is a link to a company that is replacing legal clerks with AI.

Here is video of a fully autonomous Tesla today.

Experts give it about 20 years until AI is smarter than us. Here is a great article about it. Mind bending stuff.

This is like the third class passengers being glad the titanic hit the burg because all those snooty first class passengers are gonna be sorry when they drown. "They've been crapping on us for years, so forgive me if I don't feel sorry for them"

Oh wait.

The EU most certainly did go to bat for NAI, by filing for independent arbitration, as called for in the Open Skies treaty, on behalf of NAI. It was this filing for arbitration that caused the US DOT to finally relent because, in their own words, there was no legal grounds to deny the approval. The DOT knew they would lose in arbitration because NOBODY has cited which provision NAI used to violate Article 17 bis of the Open Skies Treaty. If you know which provision they used, I am sure ALPA and the US DOT would love to know because they have yet to name it.

I still want to know how anyone can argue that NAI is circumventing EU labour laws by sneakily registering in an EU country.
We've told you over and over which provision they aren't abiding by:

The opportunities created by the Agreement are not intended to undermine labor standards or the labor-related rights and principles contained in the Parties' respective laws.
Your counter argument was that US carriers crew via the Far East too, which is a very different situation. Delta crewing out of Japan (a country with 1st world labor laws and a country to which they fly a huge number of flights) is a lot different that NAI trying to use Thailand as a crew base with contracts based in Singapore. Nothing about that is wrong to you?

That article, as well as the entire blog, is some of the most thought-provoking, intelligent content I've ever read anywhere.
