The zero plan comment was also from the FAA guy. Just to clarify, this wasn't just any FAA guy. His job is to work with UAV operators in his respective FSDO area, and to give approval for the operation of UAV's in his FSDO's airspace.

I can see how my comment came off as 'know it all' but I didn't intend it to be that way. For that I'm sorry, I should have phrased it better. I really don't know much about UAV's. I just got the impression from the FAA guy that we are a long way away from ever having them involved in the airlines. For that matter, he seemed concerned with them operating in areas busy with swept wing jet traffic.

I will acknowledge that at some point the technology will be advanced enough for a single pilot airliner, but I don't know if we will ever get people to sign off on it. Just look how the media terrified with general public with a silly article about automation killing our pilot skills.

Sorry for touching a nerve. I was just passing a message.
I should have worded it better, but my 2 yr old keeps my posts rather short.
