And who is going to train the First Officers to become Captains?
Apart from the safety factor of having that second pilot to share the load, Captains are valuable teachers to train the First Officers up to 'Captain' levels of experience and aviation knowledge.
- pictureofabear 4y agoExperienced simulator instructors. This is how F-22, F-35, and other single-seat pilots learn before flying the actual jet solo for the first time. "Level D" Simulators for transport aircraft are extremely realistic. In the air, airliners have near constant communications with dispatch and would be able to phone home for any emergencies that require an additional or higher-level decision maker. This discussion is a lot more complicated, and I don't think we'll see single-seat airliners for many decades anyways. Just wanted to answer your question.
