Yes I understand and agree that this is not the right path to take.
Automation however is inevitable. There is proven tech that’s existed for decades, the only new things being added here are taxiing, takeoff and landing (and honestly takeoff and landing are already automated, they’re just not used as much)

Considering most all commercial flights are fly by wire except for taxi, takeoff, and landing… not sure
“with no pilot onboard”

Well, there is a pilot veteran with ptsd along the passengers, he could maybe do the job. And he knows one of the air hostess.
But he’s got that drinking problem…
