    Anothe Random Idea: TelePilots for USPS/FedEx/Etc

    I’m wondering when parcel services (eg. USPS/UPS/FedEx/etc) will use remote pilots to fly the planes that ship their packages.  Will USPS be able to use the Predator-drone technology to make shipping parcels more efficient?  Pilots would “telecommute” to robot planes filled with packages just like US military pilots fly Predator drones in Iraq.  At some point, the parcel shipping flights might be autonomous?  Or commercial passenger jets could be flown remotely if the track record is proven safe….  (Obviously, passenger jets pose additional safety/security concerns.)
