I think not, and hope that Boeing and Airbus (and other manufacturers) =
will
start redesigning their planes with an option of a completely separate =
flight-deck
etc. There will likely be severe drawbacks to this though:
- no medical attention possible to pilots if one suffers a sickness and
a doctor happens to be on board
- no possibility of a steward(ess) of passenger taking over in case
the flight-crew gets disabled.
