Should I change what i wanna do for a living?
Is it gonna be worth me spending that much money to be kicked on the street and replaced by drones?

Makes me wonder.....

Do what most republicans do, and use the fear card !

Works every time.

Just show people that A320 (computer controlled ) crash as it plows straight into trees. That clip is available online. That'll get people to believe human pilots should never be eliminated.

Actually now that I re-read the article, it looks like the aircraft are going to be unmmaned but controlled by pilots on the ground, and only used on dangerous jobs like crop dusting and military operations.

I agree with you %100, no matter how advance a computer is, it does not have eyes and common sense which are going to be usefull if s..it happens.

Im sure at some point pilots will begin to be replaced by computers. I just think its not going to be in my lifetime (im 20) Or atleast not common in my lifetime.

Don't we have to talk about PFT and pay cuts? Why are we discussing other topics?
