1) I have nearly 3 million Frequent Flyer Miles (over 3 million if I add smaller carriers)

This doesn't qualify you on the subject any more than Hillary's term as First Lady qualifies her for the presidency. If you haven't been in the cockpit or talked with actual pilots, you don't know what you're talking about.

2) It doesn’t undermine my statement. I said the pilot is a redundant failsafe mechanism.

Actually, it does undermine your statement perfectly. Flying a plane is more than "Hey, Siri! Take me to Cincinnati."

You said I probably don’t fly much. I do. Being a frequent flyer it is a subject that interests me and thus I keep up on it.

That isn’t what I said. I said a plane is perfectly capable of flying without a pilot. I didn’t say it is sample as your snide example.

So far your opinions are unsupported, except as statements of fear. “I just figures” is neither fact nor argument.
