Considering being an airline pilot...

Considering being an airline pilot. Would I get unemployed in future as technological process in transportation increases? (like Super Maglev becomes mainstream etc)

Also what are your thoughts on airline pilot as a job in general?

Do not become an airline pilot.

Automation has already surpassed the ability of human pilots, and will continue to push down wages until they get rid of pilots altogether, leaving you with a massive training debt, and no way to pay it off.

I think Airline companies are still going to hire a pilot just for extra safety. You can't 100% rely on automation in a job like this.

You guys are retarded, go watch the freakonomics podcast about pilots they won't be automated anytime soon

Keep telling yourself that, It'll be commonplace within a decade if suicidal pilots keep crashing 100s of people into the floor. As to 100% replacement, that doesn't need to happen to crush wages; caretakers in the pilot seat don't get paid as much as real pilots did back in the day.

Airline pilot is already a shit job.

Why?

We won't even have cars fully automated in a decade you frothing at the mouth downie, do you even understand how much more difficult flying a plane is? And the last airline fatality in the US was like 6 years ago

Long hours
High stress
Airline mergers all the time create job uncertainty

There's a good documentary about it, but I can't think of the name. In it, multiple airline pilots only made 30k starting out and they had to get second jobs and said you don't make the big bucks until you've been with an airline for over 10 years.

Wow, you really know nothing about this. Cars are many times more difficult to automate. Right now, provided an aircraft is certified for autoland you can fly it completely using autopilot alone, not counting takeoff. And takeoff isnt difficult either, just not worth to automate. The only reason airplanes still have human pilots is that people would be afraid to fly them (which is a bullshit reason taking into account all the accidents caused by human error).
