Like crewless, zero crew. There isn’t even any flight attendants.
Pilots are just an AI Autopilot and flight attendants are all just robots.
When the service is mature enough to have decent stats on miles flown / crashes and that ratio is better than manned planes then sure, why not?
Remember, kids, aircraft are still the safest way to fly!
aircraft are still the sfest way to fly
So there are non-aircrafts that can fly? 🤔
The actual saying is the safest form of travel. Which is true, mostly because there’s enough room in the sky that planes and pilots don’t have to deal with other unpredictable people.
That was the joke dot jay peg.
Transatlantic flights by Montgolfier ballon - travel in style for the next six weeks.
Balloons are aircraft
Damn. Must have misread that as fixed-wing. Or even powered.
No
no

the quality of some planes are very sus, i.e., budget designs like those dreamliner/ max series, parts falling out either due to bad maint or they just built super cheapo

freedom land has shown that liberating air traffic controllers from their jobs got so much air things bumping into each other. “like crewless, zero crew” would also mean zero land crew. i guess this also means tend to your own baggage
-
there’s those dramas where people get sick on board and someone asks if there’s a doctor. now those dramas would just have a bunch of onlookers maybe posting on sns, praying, or just plain shouting for help. this scenario can be adjusted for the need of an air marshal as well

i doubt all 300 people would orderly get the food they ordered and/or sit on the seat they were assigned. and/or not smoke. and/or not place their feet somewhere the body parts (maybe feet) shouldn’t be on

on the personal side, some ai voice telling me to calm down when the plane hits some turbulence feels like it won’t work. for an extra free, you can choose your ai captain’s voice! for more friendly lines, get the warm ai voice pack dlc

No, self driving will not be safe within my lifetime
Absolutely not. The semblance of authority from the crew prevents the worst people from showing their true selves. I would just expect the worse from my fellow travelers and would rather not have to deal with them.
This is a very good point that I didn’t consider.
Not in the first few years of the tech, too risky for my taste.
I’d definitely fly zero crew aside from the pilot, if it was cheaper.
It’d be cheaper alright, but not for the passengers.
Is it built by Tesla, Meta, Boeing, or some other American corp?
Nope, nope, nope.
Why not? I hear dying in a plane crash is a fairly quick way to go.
Yeah sure. Right after I take an ice pick to my nuts.
Nope.
No. Because in a fully automated flight like that, now you have to worry about the other passengers.
Bring duct tape and a few friends.
Article 31 of the UN Declaration of human rights says: If any aircraft passenser should become a Karen, it is the right and duty of other passengers to duct tape them to their seats.
(Okay that doesn’t exist, but should be)
Transpacific flights would become Lord of the Flies for 19 hours. Whoever holds the Conch shell holds leadership of the plane.
It’s natural law. It need not be written. We all know that’s true and valid without writing it down. It’s an offshoot of the ancient doctrine of fuck around and find out.
Nope.
Crew know a lot of override and emergency stuff for when systems go wrong and are always the reason planes don’t go down when they otherwise would’ve
You can’t get me in to a crewed plane right now. Ain’t trusting no Tesla plane!
Sure, if the technology has been tested a lot.
