So Boeing's new797 will be built for a single pilot to fly, with the second officer ground-based and assisting in flying "several" aircraft at a time from a ground console similar to those used for military drones. With Boeing's proven track record on (eg augmented stability) what could possible go wrong.....go wrong......go wrong.....

Well, if there's no co-pilot to feed it, it'll have to be able to feed itself. Mongrel's your best bet.

I read the above and wondered if I'd been in a time warp back to 1st April.
