<on-soapbox>The only thing with this rush to efficiency and the discarding of humans is.
Like in nearly all industries these days, the solutions sought will be technological rather than human. Part of the reason is that technological solutions lead to increased efficiency, capability and lucrative spin-off technologies, but the main reason is that humans in the western world have priced themselves out of the solution market. The cost of humans is decreasing rapidly in the U.S., so a new equilibrium will eventually be reached, however the trend toward human-less air travel seems unstoppable.

How many computers buy cars,televisions,houses,airline tickets or another
computer.
And once computers have eliminated the humans from the workforce who
is going to buy the goods the computers produce.Oh that's right there won't
be any humans then LOL.
I don't think you need to worry about your job just yet David.
For while ever there are humans in the passenger seats there will be pilots
in the pilots seat,even if they don't do anything LOL.
After all the ability has been there for 20 years now for A/C to go from point
A to B without human assistance
