This career will be over in 30 years. If you think you will be in a cockpit making $$$$ and working 12 days a month by then, sorry but it is a pipe dream.
Artificial Inteligence will happen. You can deny it as much as you want. |

Think about it - even subways & trains (which are far less riskier than airplanes) have an operator. And you think in 2039 airplanes will be flying around without anybody up front? I understand how the industry can make people pessimistic...but the rumors of aviation's demise have been (and are being) greatly exaggerated... |

You can never go wrong in going to a bottom feeding airline. Unless it's Mesa, although they got theirs the last 5 years.

The only thing that will kill this career is a human teleporter

The next big push will be aircraft managed by a single on-board pilot with a remote ground-based pilot backing up several flights at the same time. |
The best software reliability is around 99%, so a completely automated plane would error about 1% of the time. Which is several million dead passengers a year. Automation......not going to happen in our lifetimes. Remote controlled maybe, but that is far more expensive to maintain than pilots.

If you chose to go work for an airline that relies on bidding their work then you get what you deserve.... those airlines exist solely to allow the whipsawing of the wholly owned ones.

If you've flown an ERJ, you'd be familiar with all the electrical system safeties built in that automatically follow the logic outside of the pilot's control when problems arise. What are pilots trained to do? We wait for messages to appear on the EICAS and pull out a book and push the buttons that it says to push when it says to push them. Since the computer is already detecting the problem and posting the message, why not have it follow the steps in the QRH in a matter of seconds? I don't think pilots are going anywhere anytime soon, but do not think for a second that the trend isn't anything other than removing more and more from our control. |
