MINOR SPOILERS:
LOL...did you FORGET that the CREW was needed to actually fight the battle against the Romulans when it returned?
They needed Tasha for tactical, etc...
Sending the ship back on auto pilot would not have accomplished that...there was NO 'plot hole', sorry...
All in all, one of the best 'alternate future/time travel' episodes in any Star Trek series, remarkably well written, acted, directed...and Guinan's final lines were pitch perfect. I literally had tears in my eyes as I was smiling away at the conclusion to this one...bravo.
10 out of 10 from me.
