I once heard an American Air Line Pilot say that planes were becoming so computerized that before long all that would be in the Cock Pit would be one pilot and a Dog. The Dog would be there in the event the Pilot touched anything about the Flight Controls. At that point the Dog would bite the Pilot. I had a friend that took a job as a Corp. Pilot for a Company. They sent him to Denver for Six Weeks to learn about a Computer System onboarf the Air Craft. He said that all one had to do with the Air Craft was light the Engines, program the Computer and the Air Craft did the rest. Even taking off and landing. So you see the Dog might not be to far off in the Future..
