You want to present yourself as a winged aviator who had to fly drones for a while, not a chest thumping drone advocate. I'm sure you know all this, but it's worth emphasizing.
Now I would assume that all else being very equal, a UAS tour would be better than a desk at the pentagon in the eyes of the airlines.
Totally agree, just curious how airlines "view" UAV experience. I have solid mil flying background flying heavies and T-6 UPT, just considering currency options after my looming non-flying tour and civilian transition.
