Would you fly in a pilotless plane ?

Thats sucide. Provided all passengers are holy, insurance are not required to fly.

Future?

I ain't goin to let a 15 year-old bored pimply teenager hack the system and took me for an hour spin before deciding he had enough and Kamikaze-d me and the rest of the passengers on someone's backyard.

Oh, and Hans Solo piloted his own aircraft, just sayin'

brit ,,

You are right,, :O(

You ninny. How do you know how slowly Adele counts ?

Adele couldn't hold her breath more than 10 seconds :O)

Congrats Soniya new record

"Hold your breath till you reach Mumbai"

Brit, initially I feel people would suffer from a lot of anxiety and may not feel comfortable at all..especially those who would understand what all could go wrong.

Like you said about hackers or problems like malfunctioning of the computers at their interface due to some virus attack could result in a crash.

Of course soni..if u hold ur breath for such a long time..

Oh yeah brit...:))

It is hard to believe but yes I DO...:D

Lols britey.

You hold your breath all the way to Mumbai ?

You already have pilot less drones why not passenger planes, what if a few innocents will be killed every here and then..:)

I am scared of heights...So naturally i suffer from PLANE PHOBIA..:)))...I hold my breath till i reach my destination...I can't express the horror in my face when i travel from DOHA to MUMBAI...I literally pray hard when the time of LANDING comes...:D

So to think to fly in a PILOT LESS plane, i think i would DIE before boarding..:P

LLR "would be run and compiled by an algorithm of all the previous accidents"

It is smart to learn from "previous accidents" but what about the New ones that didn't happen before?!

This is what i was talking about

You bring up an interesting point..

If the planes are being controlled from the ground, can "hackers" then take over the flight ?

Scary but I guess this will stop plane hijacks..

Eitherway if the planes goes down , the pilot error or mechanical problems always to blame, it took so many years to analize the data since all records taken from flightbox system data recorders , if we will not adhere to computer datas since its erroneos then no other option but pilot error and mechanical problems usually they believe what the computer analize.

iam not interested in this pilotless plane if there is no cabin crew....:(

I think a computer connected with a satellite would predict almost all the possible situations quickly and more accurately.. the basic concept here is the AI-artificial intelligence which would be run and compiled by an algorithm of all the previous accidents (cause effects actions) however I am not denying the presence of a real physical pilot..

NO, then we would wished for a Pilot to fly the plane...:( but it will be too late then...

Rizks ,,, Yes and then you will wish that you have Feathers to fly :O(

'then what' ? then the plane will have an emergency crashing...:(

"Fuzzy Error"

Was something we were studying at the college, it means that the types of errors that the plane might face is fuzzy, and when they program an auto-pilot they can't predict all problems that might happen, So the plane might face an error that never happened before and in this situation the plane will be out of control ,, then what?

Brite we already have pilotless aircraft those jumbo planes already using auto pilots , only the pilot sitting, sometime sleeping after ploting the charts all its coordinates to its distinations and landing also they make auto landing procedure since its accurate guages readings than humans. Sitting pretty, only they do manual if weather is bad. But removing the lazy pilots may be good to minimize cost for pilots. Pilots on these days doesnt know how to fly planes they refer to manuals always then pushing color coded buttons and switches if wrong the computer said , your have pressed the wrong button please eject from your sit... Lol

Hahaha yeah but it was obvious many times. :)

LLR --- If The Aviation College Students read this, They will ask for your head :O)

LOL

I second Lonious.. we have already auto pilot option from decades... If they have passed the security standards I am sure they have some advanced technologies which will show you exactly where when how to land considering the situations and I think they also have considered emergency situations...In emergencies Pilots are more prone to lose their control or lose their mind than computers..however considering the risk of system failures it is better to have one or two emergency pilots.

hire indian local bus drivers as pilots n enjoy the fun

Yes many pilots from this region seems like to be munching on thier food or snack while talking to the passengers.

And Sulie.. errrrr.. is a part where I don't get a thing what they are talking :)

You will be able to relax whilst travelling.. You can close your eyes and dream of sitting on the stool with Tom Cruise at Rizks Emporium sipping iced Karak and arrive refreshed at your destination..

i tried a lot putting money in them when they bend for serving tea-coffee but everytime i do tat - i get a weired stare by them...:(

Rizks ,, You have to Reformulate the sentence

They have real nice things :O)

Everything is Automated... soon we will be lifeless..:(

As real as a vending machine then...put only your money in them..nothing else :P

But atleast they are real....:)

Why you moan about robotic airhostess then? The real ones are as good as robots...fake smiles and crappy service.

so you can expect this kinda service then, now dont maon about it ! :)

When i go to dubai i dont want to spend triple the amount for a 45 mins journey and i can survive without the water till then :P

smokey, why do you fly in cheap airlines ? :(

Hav heard u have to even pay for a bottle of water in tat homemade plane ? :)

I just think they are fed up of saying the same thing over and over again.

Strange that many pilots in this region deem it beneath themselves to talk to the passengers or give information..

brit ,, Do you have to Follow everything in that Future !!

or we are free to choose ?!

You should hear the pilots on Air Arabia...WTF they say they only know..its like they are munching while talking. Even the cabin crew ramble random sheet over the mic!

nad ,,, Why they all have the same name "errr" it is confusing :O(

britey, when i pay a handsome amount to reach to my destination - i expect the service also to be the same...:(

i didnt pay peanuts to have robotic monkeys around...:(

The future is here..

Soon you will have driverless cars.. (Already being tested in California and other cities)

Just get in.. Key in the destination and relax..

No wrong turns, no lane changing without indicating, no tailgating....

Good Morning Everyone. My name is errrr..... and I will be your Flight Captain for today..We are preparing the aricraft for errr....and ..... Our crew with us on this fine morning are er.... er... our Flight Head Stewardess...

They Speak Bla Bla Bla...

errrrrr.............................................................On behalf of me and my crew I wish u a pleasant Journey........................

The point behind this is not clear ,,, Is it a cost control plan?, As they will not pay anymore for the pilot and his assistant.

Anyway i don't think it is a good idea, the Human pilot should be in the plane in case of emergencies as the other QLers said before.

It will be confusing if they got a Blue screen like the one we got when the Windows is damaged, This time it means "You are all dead" :O(

Do you want to get to your destination or sweet talk with the air crew ?

Wat rubbish, robotic airhostess - will look so fake ! :(

Then wats the pleasure in flying in such a fake plane where all the services are fake fake and fake....huh !

Roger, Wilko and Out!

It will surely be the future of flying pilot less whether we agree on it or not. As Thelo pointed out all flights fly on Autopilot, pilots are just there to give us take off and landing information in their not so understandable language.

There will probably a robotic airhostess and a coffee vending machine - NO KARAK !

will the planes now be cabin crew less ? :(

the day it will be, i will STOP flying in planes anymore...:(

chances are......COMPUTER PROGRAMME ERRORS...that will result into horrible incident.

Should be ok. Hope they can also look into to compensate it with better looking and more accommodating crew...:)

It is the future of flying however more should be put into passenger safety rather. Anything can go wrong with mechanics. However no one can replace an actual pilot. Watch the movie Flight :)
