If the pilot is flying by watching video screens, then the pilot can fly remotely and stay on the ground , like a drone pilot. Also as much of a long trip is on autopilot a pilot can then control 3 planes.
The plane is traveling faster than the remote signal therefore any ground control signal will not be able to reach the plane. The pilot needs to be on the plane.
