My two cents.
When the majority of adults over 35 to 40 have grown up in a automated society most specifically cars, buses and trucks and it’s a generally accepted norm. Then will start the move to pilotless aircraft. Until then the technology may be available but it will not be universally accepted. I believe pilots will be one of the last jobs automated and replaced by robots.
Doctors, lawyers etc. will be replaced before pilots in my humble opinion. I believe most on this forum will be retired before this happens for pilotless airliners.

FWIW, that A320 is doing exactly what the pilot commanded.
Is there any pilot out there, except perhaps for the one who was flying that day, who thinks full stall demonstrations are a good idea at very low altitudes? Every single Boeing ever made would have also ended up in the trees.

Um, no. No matter what is engaged or disengaged when you move the throttles forward on a Boing the Engines respond. When you pull back, the plane responds. According to the Captain he did that. Yes, the investigation said otherwise, but since when do we believe investigations? Pilots are always right.

Cactus 1549 was the first North American hull loss of an A320 after what, 25 years since first delivery? Can’t count how many Boeing and McD airplanes were lost over that period of time.

Human pilots are the safest thing going. Anything else would be exponentially less safe.
Don’t tell me about self-driving cars, because the order of magnitude of simplicity to make a car drive itself is hundreds of times easier...
