To JK : With the advancement of systems on board the aircraft, it does not replace the jobs of pilots. Auto-pilot, Flight Management Systems and other advance avionics only assist the job of pilots to ensure a flight is more properly managed in terms of safety, comfort and efficiency.

To Alvin: You are right…for now. I am sure in future pilots will still be required despite all the advancements in aircraft technologies/system. However, i am sure it will cut down the number of pilots required on board each flight from 3 to maybe just 2 or even 1.

Alvin and Jason, aviation rules are govern by CAA or FAA.
this guys are pilots too. they will never pass and allow
a practice for a commerical flight to be handle by 1 pilot.
