The autopilot of the 747 is capable of making majority of the flight.
You really only need the pilot in case of an emergency. Otherwise you could probably train a monkey to do the rest.

I'd like to wait for the next decade to see how airline flight risk goes up. Hopefully other airlines don't follow the trend; I'll explicitly avoid United, but I could see this spreading like the rest of the cancer.
