I know that planes are mostly automated these days but I wouldn't run a large website with N+0 redundancy, let alone get in a plane with the same resilience. Not sure how I feel about this.

In about 10 years we gonna see 1 pilot taking care of 5 planes simultaneously from the ground, just like it is done with drones.

I doubt it, since one of the main functions of a pilot is to be around in case something goes wrong, which in this case could include the satellite up-link going down.
