From Iain Cromarty
For passengers to feel safe, it seems we need a human presence in the cockpit (9 August, p 30).
This brings to mind the back pages of Flight magazine at least 20 years ago, when arguments began about whether two pilots or one were necessary.
“In future, the cockpit will contain just one pilot and a dog,” one commentator wrote. “The pilot will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to bite the pilot if he touches anything.”
