a long way, as there are many unpredictable unforeseen combinations of events in the sky. A much more likely scenario is single pilot commercial flights, especially for regionals, effectively doubling pilot capacity.

Maybe we'll see single pilots on short regional flights, but with pilots falling asleep and things like the Germanwings suicide I can't imagine single pilot commercial flights being the norm happen any time soon. And on longer domestic flights, pilots still need to be able to eat a meal and get up to use the bathroom.
