The Air Line Pilots Association is trying to block the study of single pilot aircraft by framing the law as resulting in the immediate removal of one pilot from the cockpit. Personally, I think future aircraft with one person onboard and one "super dispatcher" monitoring/controlling multiple aircraft on the ground would be much safer. Except for steering around weather, most interventions in A to B flights are caused by air traffic control. Why not just let ATC control the spacing of planes from the ground?
