FedEx and UAV's

[30West]

Instead of pilotless aircraft, how about idiotless airline boardrooms.

I worked UAV's (Predator) for three years at the factory.
First, more than 40% of all UAV's are GONE!!!!
Second, the FAA is nowhere near in allowing them in the National Air Space.
Third, I'm sure management would love pilotless airplanes, right up until a pilotless airplane crashes into a large or small metropolitan area.

FedEx + UAV's = OUT OF BUSINESS.

yeah,

right up till some terrorist group hacks into the system and turns them into missiles.

Early attempt at a flyby with a remotely piloted vehicle.

That wasn't remotely piloted... There were two pilots up front, and a few others going for a ride in the back.

It had to do with an early software glitch combined with the pilots not being familiar with the permutations of how the airbus would behave.
