Pilots decry industry push for solo flying

At a Thursday news conference in Montreal, leaders of three of the world's largest pilot unions representing more than 150,000 workers said a proposal to Europe's aviation regulator aims to boost airline profits at the expense of safety.

“There is no replacement for the skills and experience of at least two pilots at the controls of the flight deck at all times,” he said. The concept - still years away from potential implementation - is being investigated more intensely by the agency, said Northcote. The Montreal-based United Nations agency's governing body and air navigation commission were slated to weigh the topic further after two working papers were submitted last year, but no resolutions have been adopted, said spokesman Anthony Philbin.

“Part of the reason the aviation system is as safe as it is today is because of what pilots do,” the company said in an emailed statement.
