Like crewless, zero crew. There isn’t even any flight attendants.
Pilots are just an AI Autopilot and flight attendants are all just robots.

I’ve no fundamental objection to doing so. I don’t think that existing aircraft are considered ready for that, though.
On flights between major airports, with no inclement weather, and ignoring direct human control like taxiing and communications, many commercial flights are already effectively there. Automatic takeoff, autopilot in the air, and auto land systems handle nearly everything else automatically.
