Ok I just went to the kitchen and explained this to a root vegetable....and it got it.

The megajet has 'no' pilots, you then took us out of the megajet and put us back into a hypothetical jet that does have pilots, therfore not the megajet, the systems I was talking about are the systems the megajet computer relied on to function...its virtual eyes and ears, systems are not controls in this case, a computer that doesn't know where it is isn't going to solve its way out of anything without the super shiny systems you and me designed to help it, a pilot with a window and a yoke and rudders is much better.

If a modern jet loses power everyone is dying. That is as certain in a jet with pilots as it is in the megajet 2000.

I'm pretty sure the APU was still functioning on that aircraft.

It's no use having a battle of whits with an unarmed man, Bongo. He has no way of knowing when you've won.

If we ever do get rid of pilots we're not going to replace them with systems which could go 'fzzzzzt". The systems will be redundant. There will probably be a backup remote control system. And it isn't going to happen for many, many years.

There is a saying, "German Generals, French Officers and British Soldiers...". This just shows the mental determination of the French officer class. - I believe him!

So was the RAT Thank goodness, would have been a disaster if there was nothing for the pilots to controll it.
