"And bear in mind, if you go to a one-man cockpit, you might as well go to a zero-man cockpit. Because it all needs to cater for the eventuality that this one guy just ate a bad oyster and is incapacitated and the aeroplane has to take over. So one pilot or zero pilot is effectively the same thing.”
This is like rule 1 in aviation. Literally every component has two, in order to halve the failure rate. Hydraulics for every flap or rudder, two of them. Two jets/engines, both overengineered so the plane can land on either. And yes. Two pilots
Sounds like a good reason to strike
Wouldn’t that just make things worse? 0 pilots per airplane instead of just 1? /s
