As if Embraer hasn't F'd up our Careers Enough....

This will only happen after remote control of the aircraft, ie someone on the ground flying the plane while two pilots monitor, has been tested and flown for decades. Then and only then will the second pilot become redundant. I shudder to think of The White Dragon (ASA) being the backup to the UAV, God forbid the control link fails, who the hell would back her up?

I think it will happen, but my guess is not in the next 25 years. Like a previous poster said- the FAA moves at glacial speeds and I doubt anyone believes all this next generation stuff will really be on line here within 5 to 10 years of even today's plan. I have a feeling the single pilot airliners are going to require whatever the next next generation is and whenever it happens. I really hope it isn't until I'm retired.

LOL, That is enough to halt the whole program right there. She is one scary individual.
