So are planes. They still need pilots.
Its not just simply a case of pressing a button & off you go. Pilots are highly trained professionals who have to make life changing decisions in seconds before the plane plummets to the ground.
A train driver is the same in many aspects. They’re in control of something very expensive with hundreds of people’s lives in their hands.
Both occupations (pilots & drivers) are very special… certainly not something for the faint hearted. Pilots for example train for years & it’ll have cost you a fortune (if you have the money) to eventually fly for an airline, if you’re lucky enough to be selected! If you haven’t got the funds, then a loan is the other option, but the repayments would be eye watering without any other costs that you have like a mortgage etc.
