OPINION: Single Pilot Operations Are a Bad Idea

At AeroSpaceNews.com, our editorial team, and Captain Rex, think single pilot large aircraft air transport operations are a bad idea today.

A more detailed editorial is coming soon, but in short, we are not in favor of the Airbus extended Minimum Crew Operation (eMCO) concept, formerly known as the CONNECT Project, as described.

Chasing cost savings at the expense of safety is never a worthwhile compromise. Watch our own Captain Rex sound the alarm below. If you agree, please share the video with your friends and colleagues.
