The first iteration will be a single pilot cockpit. Pilot shortage over. This will likely happen before I retire. I don’t think I’ll see a fully automated cockpit in my lifetime, but that depends on how long I live.

I laugh at people who think that.

you thought the 737 Max fiasco was bad....

it’s like people have never heard of a computer having a glitch or something going out of the ordinary.

Touche. However, th FA thing is only a few minutes. An entire flight, with demons in one's head slaying each other.... Redrum Redrum Redrum

here is a question. Why do we ask to see a jumpseaters medical when a FA doesn’t need one to be in the cockpit?
