” Two pilots still make sense in the cockpit, though eventually that will change. “

Eventually meaning when?

Probably later this year when the pilot shortage gets so bad that the FAA suddenly decides they only need one pilot per plane so the airlines don’t go tits up

At which point I’ll either find a way to confirm there is a co-pilot on any plane I enter or will not be flying

The software snake oil salesmen want fully auto-piloted civilian flights over civilian populations.

"Planes are flying 99% of the time on auto-pilot anyway." ...except when they have to land in the Hudson River due to bird strikes taking out the engines.

I was very uneasy when they started flying long distances over water with 737’s.
One pilot? Not with me onboard unless I am in the right seat.
