I hope you guys are right, but I see single pilot monitors or full automation with remote monitors in 20-30 years in cargo, then 10 years later in the airlines. I think the big hurdle is securing the wireless connections to them to prevent terrorism.

I agree that it'll be longer than 20 years for aviation. Autonomous anything still has a long way to go on the ground, let alone in aviation.

ERJ/CRJ class starts
Anyone have info on what class starts that are currently being offered on the ERJ vs CRJ?
I came on 6 months ago and at that point they were 3 months further out on the ERJ. I didn’t want to take the additional wait. Came through IOE a couple of weeks ago after 12 weeks wait.

I start indoc at the beginning of June (ERJ), so I'm particularly interested in this. There hasn't been much talk of the current ERJ footprint, just a lot about the challenges on the CRJ side.

Moving a bunch of student FOs to ERJ means the pendulum is about to swing.

if the “1998” is an accurate birth year for you, you’ll have plenty of time to work and fly the next 40+ years of your life.
