technically I think all they need to give is a 15-day heads up for an AE award…

That's like a 20 year timespan. I sure hope we have something better than email in 20 years.

Reaction Simulation is building this right now and shopping it to Delta. It will basically eliminate the 200 series…and yes…is very dope.

This is dangerous territory fellas. We’re on the cusp of automating ourselves out of a job.

We're fine, but the next generation probably not. I could see some sort of AI sim instructors for 200 series though.

Yep, we're headed the way of the wheelwright, farrier and blacksmith. In a generation or two you can add airline pilot, helmsman and truck driver to the list, but not before a 2014 hire becomes WBA.

Replacing a $15/hour cashier is aiming low, imagine the financial gains for a company that can replace $300/hour labor. What professions are you recommending to your children?
