Push for lone pilots on flights is ‘irresponsible’: Former Qantas PilotFormer Qantas Pilot Richard Richard De Crespigny says the push for lone pilots on airlines is “irresponsible' as it 'reduces safety' on flights. “Humans will always make errors, so you need extra pilots on board,' Mr De Crespigny told Sky News Host Peta Credlin.
