Who's Really Flying The Plane?
I had a conversation with a lady in the seat next to me on a flight not long ago who asked a similar question (why can't a robot fly this?). My response was: "would you get into a taxi or a bus driven by a robot? Would you want a complicated surgical procedure performed by a robot? Flying is a highly variable, fluid environment & the state of technology (not to mention our trust in that level of technology) isn't up to the level where an AI could make the necessary decisions to fly this airplane." Now in 20-30 years, it may be a different discussion. The issue isn't if a robot could fly the plane (sure it could), but a robot cannot operate in the NAS. There are still waaaay too many human variables in the system.

C2 Question - SOFs and Command Post
Sort of. As a UPT SOF, the biggest function was setting the weather status for the field & pulling the trigger on a recall/divert. The vast majority of scheduling decisions were left to the ops sups & unless the guy with the EP was in your airframe, you weren't much help there as more than a comm relay/sanity check. T-38 dudes especially would talk to the sup before me & I often would have little to no SA on an EP until it was on final.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
Zippers only zipped so high? Restrictions on buttons? Canned responses to inquiry? Rigid sets of protocol for varied scenarios, with no room for improvisation? Hordes of minions, unquestioningly following orders in hopes of impressing the boss & getting promoted? ::: cough cough, 36-2903, cough cough ::: Same shit, different cult
