Future job

The number of airline pilots could decrease as automation replaces copilots and
eventually pilots as well. In January 2017 Rhett Ross, CEO of Continental
Motors said "my concern is that in the next two decades—if not sooner—
automated and autonomous flight will have developed sufficiently to put
downward pressure on both wages and the number and kind of flying jobs
available. So if a kid asks the question now and he or she is 18, 20 years from
now will be 2037 and our would-be careerist will be 38—not even mid-career.
Who among us thinks aviation and especially for-hire flying will look like it
does now?" Christian Dries, owner of Diamond Aircraft Austria said "Behind
the curtain, aircraft manufacturers are working on a single-pilot cockpit where
the airplane can be controlled from the ground and only in case of malfunction
does the pilot of the plane interfere. Basically the flight will be autonomous and
I expect this to happen in the next five to six years for freighters."
