When you look at flight technology as it is today, where will airline pilots be in 25 years? There is rapidly increasing automation in airline cockpits, to the point that a plane is essentially capable of take-off and landing (the two most complicated parts of flight) all by itself, and autopilot, which serves to maintain a plane's altitude, heading, airspeed, etc. has existed for many years. With the advent of unmanned aircraft, it is becoming increasingly obvious that pilots will soon be un-needed in the capacity they are today.

I'm just curious; I've been an aspiring pilot for a few years now, and it seems that by the time I actually get there, most of the actual 'piloting' will have been taken over by computers. Now, it's just a matter of getting people to trust a computer with their lives, and the pilots won't be needed anywhere. (except on the ground, to take over in the event of failure).

I'm just afraid that the career will get boring, compared to what it is today.

I still have some time to decide, but just wondering if it would be worth it to go to a bigger more expensive one like the University of North Dakota, or Southern Illinois, or if it would be better to choose a cheaper in state college, my only option being the University of Nebraska Kearney, which is a small town college. Just wondering what some of your thoughts were about a cheaper, in state, or a more expensive out of state college. By the way, I am also going to major in some other field, possibly meteorology, so I have a career to fall back on later, if I get furloughed or something. Answers much appreciated, especially from people who have gone the civillian route into aviation, as I plan to.

Do pilots take bathroom breaks while flying? How much is a pilot paid? Do you use automatic flying at any time like when you are not feeling well? Are men pilots like the navy have a girlfriend in every airport? If you had to do your life over would you still become a pilot? what is about flying you enjoy the most? Do pilot mix and megel with the passengers ? Would you consider writing a book about your time as a pilot?

How much fuel is carried on an airplane? I saw a movie once where an airplane landed on a building and it did not burn up or the building fall down but with 911 airplanes the building went down. Is there enough fuel in an airplane for it to be use like a bomb? I really do not buy in to conspiratory theories. But I have been worring if it was more to it then this. So how much fuel is carried on a airplane? And could this be real?

For the first time, last week, I flew on a Continental 777 flight to London, and saw people with one and two bars on their shoulders and sleeves. I thought they might be for a change of crews, but if so why would they only have the one or two bars if they fly about the same amount of time?

In reference to the recent crash in Phoenix, wouldn't it make more sense for the pilot of the news helicopter to do the flying and have the cameraman do the live on-air television reporting? It seems to me that a cameraman screwing up a video shot b/c he's talking is a much more desirable mistake than a pilot becoming too distracted and causing pilot error.

has ever actually landed on water?
I mean people these days are a little smarter about futility of water landings than they were in say, the 70s or 80s , so why pretend that plane can actually land on water?

Its been shown that planes generally disintegrate when trying a landing on water.
I'm not saying they should say "if we have to land on water we're all be dead" obviously!
bt wouldnt it be better to just not say anything about the plane acting like a "flotation device" and all that?
