Technology Removes Need for Human Pilots
the landscape is changing but I think it will be quite awhile before we don't have humans in the sky ... I'd hate to be setting on a carrier depending upon drones (only) to protect my battle group ... but hey, that's me ...

The Israelis broke ground on the UAV front by using them in Lebanon War to knock out the Syrian air missle defense system. It changed the course of warfare.

As long as there's no need for any humans aboard, I think it's fine. But for transporting humans, I'd prefer a human pilot.

The NYT doesn't like pilots. Not collectivist enough a trade, I'm thinking. Also... note the cute PC neologism "
uninhabited aerial vehicles." Feh.
If you can tell me the day that passengers will voluntarily board a robotic flying vehicle, I can give you that day's weather report in Hades... snow.
