  1.  @Keaton0801  totally agree I meant that the drone mode is for remote pilot to monitor the flight while the physical pilots are still in the cockpit and able to take over. If something weird takes place they can simply take over manually. As for hacking, with all the wifi etc onboard entertainment I hope it's totally isolated from the fly by wire system!

  6.  @jonathanj8303 well the fuel burn thing was related to the argument of Kenya saving costs by reducing two pilots and I'm left wondering if they do in fact save any money

  7.  @jonathanj8303  with auto pilot flying the plane most of the way I wonder however how bad the fatigue really is. Maybe one day the flight deck can have fully reclined seats so the pilot can sleep while somewhere in the world a remote pilot flies / monitors the plane as if it's a military drone

  10. Carrying built in stairs will add lots to the cost in the long run as it's dead weight you're flying all over... More fuel burn

  11. Only China can claim to do this. Trading in 787 for C919 which has even lower efficiency lol
