Elevators vs Airplanes

But your job. That depends on whether you're an elevator operator or an airline pilot. He used to hoist himself up on a platform 30, maybe 40ft above the ground. was supposed to be a spectacle. He actually designed the show with P.T. Barnum of Barnum and Bailey Circus. He'd waved at the crowd, and then an assistant would take a hatchet or ax and chop the thick rope cable that had been cranked to pull the platform up.

The whole thing would drop a couple feet. The crowd would gasp, and then the break that he invented would kick in and stop the platform from falling. That was how Otis marketed his invention, the elevator brake, the name you see in so many elevators. Without the brake, there would be no elevator. Humans had understood what elevators could do for a long time and somewhere in use for freight, it was just too dangerous for passengers.

If the cable broke, the whole thing would plummet. Very bad ending. Without the elevator, there would be no skyscrapers. Walking up and down 30 flights of stairs is not something you can sell to any prospective tenant, but these things they needed to be manually operated. At first there was a lever that you would manually adjust to speed up and slow down. Just like a gas pedal. You could go too fast, you could go too slow, you could miss the floor.

You want to stop at. Every elevator had a guy in it working the lever for almost 100 years, and it is the only job that has been completely eliminated due specifically to automation over the past 60 years. The U.S. census keeps a list of all occupation titles. The last time elevator operator was seen was in the 1960 census, right as the elevator operator was entering its prime. The airline pilot shows up 1920. Hi. I'm a pilot.

What do you do? I fly planes. Cool. How much of that do you actually do, bro? Almost none of it. Autopilot has been around since the 1920s. Fly by wire everywhere since the 80s. Auto land planes can literally land themselves in zero visibility. I spend most of the flight watching screens and drinking coffee. So you're basically obsolete, right? That's what they said. They automated the s*** out of flying. And then something weird happened.

The number of pilots didn't go down. It exploded. More planes, bigger planes, longer routes, way more flights. Automation didn't kill the job. It made every pilot way more powerful. But what about when s*** hits the fan? Bird strike at takeoff? Total hydraulic failure. Passenger has a heart attack at 35,000ft. Some drunk asshole tries to kick in the cockpit door. The computer doesn't go to jail. The computer doesn't make the call when everything's on fire.

You do. I'm not there to turn knobs. I'm there to be the final human who says this plane is landing safely. Everyone's going home. Air travel went from rich people toy to hundreds of millions of normal humans flying every year. And they all want a highly trained human sitting up front. They automated 90% of my job and created ten times more of it. Elevator operator gone, airline pilot, more in demand than ever. So tell me again, is cloud going to take your job?
