    I'm down with this, as long as I can get *two* of those tiny bags of peanuts. I like peanuts.

    Man, that sucks that pilots will have to start drinking alone.

      Sure it's "statistically unlikely"' but 69.3% of all statistics are untrue.

        Surely, you can't be serious.

      This will take a while. As in, decades. The technology is close, but not there yet. And it'll need to be proven for a long while before the FAA gets on board.

      And it'll be more cost-effective to have two pilots for a while compared to all that technology.

      How am I not grey on Flightclub but grey here?

        Rule #1. Never talk about Flightclub

        Rule #2. This isn't Flightclub. Though I'm sure Paul will write a an article with actual knowledge of the subject without the snark and half-baked thoughts.

      I flew for the fist time in a decade about six weeks ago. Immediately after takeoff, the third pilot had a seizure. They turned the plane around maybe ten or fifteen minutes in. I think we all expected somebody else to be jogging up the platform to replace him, but nope, flight cancelled. I guess that beats some alternative outcomes.

      The strange thing was, United later tried to tell us that it was all mechanical issues. Unless dude had a pacemaker, uhhhhh... the call went out on the plane for any medical professionals to come to the cabin. We heard that, guys. I don't understand that. I would feel a lot better knowing I got put on a ten hour flight with an obviously fallible human being instead of a fucked up plane.

      Also lame- I got just far enough into 22 Jump St. to realize that they had already exhausted all the terrible jokes from the commercials, and then they shut that shit off. Then on our flight the next day, they started Godzilla about a half-hour before we landed in Japan, so all we saw was Bryan Cranston acting like he couldn't leave the meth behind him, no Godzilla. You suck United!

        In related news, driverless cars don't work in the rain. But hey! Computers!

          I never worry about dying when I fly. I worry about snapping and killing everyone else. Stop. Kicking. My. Seat.

                You should probably do the only reasonable thing left at this point and never go anywhere again.
