Is it worth trying to become a pilot, or will everything be AI by the time you have your license?
>>
By the time you get a licence the AI will be watching pr0n while the dog flies it.

Go for it.
>>
AI only will be illegal. Pilots will just be babysitting it.

Garmin's auto-landing thingy landed without a pilot like a month ago.

AI will easily be capable enough. But the FAA will force humans to be in the loop for airliners.

Airliners will be hiring military fighter pilots as the military keeps closing down squadrons they can't afford to replace
And they'll be going to 1 pilot soon enough

Stick and rudder skills are at the bottom of the list for the title of PILOT IN COMMAND. Airlines want a captain not some AI
>>
>>2064226
no, why would u ever have a pilot when u can just use AI to generate a Better Reality
>>
Statistically speaking, fully automated systems are safer since they can eliminate human error, and with unmanned aircraft already in use, it's technically feasible.
However, it will likely take many years for the FAA and passengers to accept it. Even 30 years from now, single-pilot operations might not be permitted.
>>
FAA cannot properly staff a safe number of air traffic controllers. Unless major changes made, I cannot see it implementing something like that in the near future. Even still, I think you would want at least one pilot

old news

Been working on my private pilot in my free time since last February. It's going super slow and I don't get consistent seat time so every time I'm able to get back in a plane, I'm spending one or two classes refamiliarizing myself. My instructor says I'm gonna be good to solo soon, sitting at about ~35 hrs atm. I'm very happy with my progress, even if it is very slow, but I don't care about flying commercial. Just a hobby for me, maybe I'll fly my family around if I ever buy a plane (lol, what a money pit).
I've worked with airlines in the past, writing maintenance software, and based on my experience, there's very little risk of an imminent AI takeover. Airlines move very slowly when it comes to adopting new tech. That, coupled with the strong pilots unions and the FAA weighing the scales, I wouldn't be super concerned about AI. But real pilots, please tell me how I'm retarded.
