My point is; I'd think twice about a lengthy training bond if that's part of the deal. Otherwise - good luck!
I do not think drones will ever fully take over due to the size of some of the camera systems being used and the need for liver operators with the cameras in some systems.
But thankfully, there is no contract of time or money.
