I'm sure the same sentiments were uttered regarding trains with no conductors and elevators without lift operators.....

Yeah, because trains and elevators ride on steel rails and still manage to crash, check the Edmonton local news, but by all means keep comparing squash to microscopes......and you wonder why you work for 1/2 the mainline pilots payscale.

So what does that say for you?

Last time I checked there are still a couple of guys driving the train, and if the elevator breaks you make a phone call and elevator maintenance comes and lets you out.

George goes tango uniform at 230 without a pilot on board and its harp city for everybody. Big difference.

Yea that or paint a red dot on your forehead or join an Indian reservation. Whatever helps..

Thank god you will be Hulas's goat rimmer to the end. Are you still his Cleveland Steamer go to gal?

Uhhhmmmn, that I can read a newspaper?

Guess all them smarts from being able to read a newspaper allows you to fly for 1/2 the pay of a mainline pilot?

There will be one minimally trained pilot to land the airplane. The lack of supply of people willing to lay out large sums of money in a career with a diminishing future is why the government will step in and change the entire airline pilot paradigm.

We are going to a GPS based system without navaids, without air-ground voice communication and to monitor/controller based flight crew. They have successfully landed UAVs on carrier decks. How many lives would be lost if one of those went haywire. The USAF Academy has pilot slots going unspoken for.

2-3 years of extensive testing will build a credible safety record that the flying public will accept. The cost savings from pilotless aircraft will be so overwhelming (no duty lime limits) that airlines will lose investors if they cling to the old human flightcrew. I wouldn't be surprised to see airlines switch to a pilotless option while on the assembly line.

No we are moving rapidly towards a system much like the people movers in Newark, Dallas, Atlanta and Denver. Folks should plan their careers accordingly.

The idea that the government is going to fund some program to train pilots outside of the armed services is laughable given the given the present fiscal state of the US government. Also the FAA just spent two years increasing the standards for commercial pilots. As long as Chucky Schumer and the Democrats have more than 40 votes in the Senate you will never see the ATP standards repealed. Airlines are going to be responsible for creating their own training pipelines as military fixed wing pilots become fewer and fewer.

Last time I checked the military is not allowed to fly UAVs over populated areas in the US. Obviously you haven't dealt with the flying public very much other than shutting the cockpit door. They are nervous enough getting on an aircraft with pilots than to think they would ever fly without one. If you're flying around empty, you're going to lose money either with or without pilots. Passengers are motivated by two things when purchasing tickets: safety and price. If they don't think its safe you can give the tickets away and it won't matter. The best example of this is ValuJet after the everglades crash. They couldn't give tickets away and ended up buying Air Tran so they could re brand the company to get away from passenger concerns about safety.
