As a mid-thirties airline pilot, these articles make me wonder if I should re-skill now or ride it out.

- jillesvangurp 6y agoIt will take long for this to change the industry and there are a lot of planes that will be flown manually for decades to come. But obviously it doesn't hurt to have a plan B. I actually expect that short term there will be an increased demand for pilots as smaller electrical airplanes start becoming more popular. Most of these will be single pilot operations doing short hops. If there are going to be lots of them, there will be a need for lots of pilots too. This too will ramp up over a few decades and eventually that whole business will be autonomous. But not short term.
