So the idea about the automated remote ground station is plausible, but I would think to get an equivalent level of safety, you would have to have one rated "virtual FO" for every aircraft, which would kind of defeat the purpose of automating the plane more.

And imagine what would happen after a terrorist group figures out how to "hack" into the plane's systems remotely and override the pilots input or computer's control! I just can't see remotely flying airliners as a possibility anywhere in the near future because of all the security issues that go along with it.
