Maybe for cargo. But there's zero chance that single pilot operation will be allowed for airliners. The workload for managing emergencies is too high for a single pilot, even with extensive automation.

You don't think extensive automation could cut the workload in half?
Not for major emergencies. It's impossible to build automation if you can't anticipate all of the possible failure modes.
