Doesn't a drone still have a "pilot", just not sitting in the cockpit. I doubt they will ever remove pilots (in the cockpit) from commercial passenger airlines, as I doubt many of the passengers would be comfortable with a pilot who doesn't have some skin in the game: :)

Did you have a job earlier in your life that has effectively disappeared for whatever reason?

Obviously you haven't been incarcerated in ages, either. :U

That's about the only place that you will see a pay phone these days.

I can think of 3 near me off the top of my head. They're slowly being converted to public WiFi hotspots
