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.

And entry level second seat barely paying 40k a year to start.

It’s like they want the world to collapse.

That’s what made my friend give up on becoming a professional pilot, paying 80k to then get a job where you are asked to travel to a destination and wait for the next flight possibly bringing you home…
