A cargo plane flew 50 miles with no pilot onboard using a semi-automated system. An aviation expert says the technology could address the pilot shortage.::The flight system allows a plane to be remote operated by a pilot on the ground, which could streamline pilot airline operations in the future.
Anything will be done to address “shortages” other than paying fairly
You need training to fly, so there’s a lag between you posting higher salaries and actually getting new pilots
While you are right, the airline industry has known about this for a while and did nothing.
we knew about this in early 90s lololol
