- t0mas88 3y agoNot really. Planes can't fly without pilots. Even flying a large jet with a single pilot instead of two would be very hard. It can be landed in an emergency (e.g. one pilot incapacitated), but it is hard work for the remaining pilot and requires some cooperation from ATC. Can't really do that with multiple aircraft at the same time. Even more so in case of adverse weather or any systems failures. It quickly becomes too much for one pilot, that's why only small jets are certified for single pilot operations.
