"Single pilot, with a remote capability, with multiple redundancies, would be the minimum they would consider initially. In my opinion at least."
Yepp, still seeing zero cost savings here. You still have to pay for that pilot (potentially more because of Unions and the hardship of sitting on your ass by yourself for 14 hours from DFW to NRT), you still have to pay for that remote pilot on the ground, you still have to pay for the "redundancy" and not to mention the means to mitigate the retarded risk of single or remote piloted airlines.
Not to mention, human error is still very much in the chain. Why are we still talking about this? I'm sure some socially awkward engineer type living in his parents' basement is having wet dreams about this, but let's be real here.
