Will this change peoples attitudes towards fly by wire/remote pilots/drones? In theory, there should be a flight plan thats relatively straight forward and immediately upon unusual divergence from the plan you would think a remote pilot could peer in on what is going on and even override the controls... Obviously security concerns are important here.


The remote pilots fly the unmanned drones which aren't a big loss when something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong there too, just it's not a big loss and nobody reports that. "One drone crashed instead of flying around, so what? That's why they are unmanned and cheap, that's why we use them actually."
