I wouldn't propose to lecture you on anything about airline flying; I welcome you insights, and I believe you have a great deal of wisdom to offer in that area. It would be pretentious of me to assume that I could speak with authority on flying for the airlines, because I have not done so.
On a completely unrelated note, you were talking about flying in combat?
No, I was talking about flying airplanes vs. flying drones. I took the original post to be asking about eventually getting a job flying for an airline. If that is the goal, the reserve job I would recommend would be flying an airplane, to build flying time, over a drone.
I was -asking- if the airlines consider drone time, as flight time, and how many drone pilots have been killed while flying combat missions.
