I notice a trend with businesses going to a self service model. Already, I have to be a cashier at the grocery store. The way things are going, I may need to learn how to fly a fucking plane because airlines are too cheap to pay for 2 captains. Are you kidding about training stewardesses to land a plane? They're probably already thinking of how to eliminate them.
By the time they replace flight attendents the planes will be fully autonomous with remote intervention being an option in the event that the autopilot fails, maybe there will always be someone on board with basic flight knowledge in the event of total electrical failure, but the planes are all practically fly-by-wire anyway so total electrical failure is probably a death sentence.
