Well, the pilots don’t want to die either. Once that comfort is removed, would people still be willing to get on the plane?

Not no. Hell no!

Just think of Mohamed Attah becoming one of those half air-traffic controller and half kid-with-a-remote-control-airplane.

But here’s my question. Even if the U.S. airline companies could fire most of their pilots (a big “if,” I am guessing, because of pilots’ unions), would you be willing to be a passenger on an unmanned airplane?

NO
