Not sure if I'm beating a dead horse here, but do you think that pilot’s jobs will be replaced by technology in our lifetimes? I know some uneducated people say "Look at the facts, pilot error makes up a majority blah blah blah", well the "fact" is that the NTSB often needs "something" to point it's crooked finger at, and all too often pilot error is blamed when that is simply not the true cause. What about instrument failure? Abnormalities, etc? An autopilot would run you straight into the ground in most of those situations.
Do you see computers making these judgments given the complexities of the ever changing 3d environment and its atmospheric variables, what about diversions, decisions, etc?<o></o>

(I'm a private pilot that wants to start training to fly for an airline eventually, and I want to know if you think that there will still be a need for pilots in my lifetime...)
