AUS has the robot barista machine which turns out some pretty good coffee. I was also in line one day when it got out of sync and failed in pretty epic fashion. It was basically dumping drink after drink onto the floor of the terminal and it was at that point that I quit worrying about a Pilot-less airplane.

Reliance on automation is why this happened in the first place.

More to come you can be sure.

Not every state pays the $2.13/hour tipped employee minimum wage. Arizona (where my daughter is a server) pays $9.15 to start. She makes $12/hour plus tips, with $300 in tips not being uncommon.

Amazing how quickly you guys turned a thread about a spectacular failure of the private sector into a thread whining about the federal government.

i watched the robot barista spaz out in similar fashion. That plus my idiot roomba that managed to get stuck in an empty square room assured me i'm probably safe from automation.

Funny the waitresses at my one friends restaurant make $70,000 plus per year. Hardly $3 per hr. Because he has people applying and never showing up for the interview. He has always treated employees great! Another gets fake numbers on the applications. I’m sure it’s all made up and people that want these jobs really want to work.

The federal gubment IS the failure in this instance by doling out so much socialist money that people don’t don’t want to work. Morons. Absolute morons.

I wonder how every pilot baying for automation feels about single pilot Ops. Surely we are the exception right? Just ask your flight engineer, or navigator.
