Robots and AI will lack judgement. Sure, they can perceive and react faster, but they cannot use experience to make a judgement call in a difficult situation. The final decision should always rest with a human who has the experience. Just think of all the paper certified people you've worked with. They have a lot of knowledge programmed in them, but they have no experience, and therefore no judgement to make proper diagnoses. So human pilots will probably be relegated to monitoring systems on a plane and ensuring the AI makes the correct decisions for every situation.
