    There’s a reason redundancy is huge in aviation. All of those redundancies are written in the blood of prior accidents. Same thing with signage in the military.

    And year, redundancy for the person flying the plane, or at least monitoring the autopilot is probably a good idea, tough shit for the airlines that want to cut costs.

      Yeah, if they’d decrease prices then I honestly wouldn’t be that opposed. Flying is very safe, and autopilot is really good. It can even land, though I think this is normally not used if you have a human pilot, but it can do it if it needs to.

      We all know that they’d just be cutting employees and probably increase prices though.
