Unless the pilot's union messes it up, yes.
But snark aside.
Unmanned birds can have better performance then any manned craft, ever. The most important and hardest to replace thing in the modern jet is the pilot, so get him the hell out of the cockpit and put him in Las Vegas safe and sound. If an unmanned craft gets splashed the pilot can just go get a cup of coffee and then "re-spawn" (after he files a PTSD claim  ). This is all assuming the "lag" monster gets solved.
