Thank goodness for Delta's outsourcing. For a minute, I was afraid UAV's would take my job, but then I realized. UAV's will take the jobs of Virgin, Air France, KLM, Alaska Airlines, Jet Blue, Express Jet, Freedom, Pinnacle, Garuda, Aeroflot, Aerolineas, Aeromexico, Air Europa, Alitalia, China Airlines, China Eastern, China Southern, Czech Airlines, Kenya Airways, Korean Air, Middle East Airlines, Saudia, TAROM, Vietnam Airlines, and Xiamen Air pilots.
Boomer and I meanwhile will already be on the front pew at the Church of the Painful Truth.

I'm not going to speculate "what the CIA wants or doesn't want", but it's not really their decision.
Altitude loss!
(Most UAV's are single engine.) Serious note - there are multiple sensors and warnings displayed at the control station giving much more Situational Awareness (SA) about engine parameters and health than anything I've seen in the manned assets.
YES.
Vague question, but security on the base where I/we fly is higher than any civilian flight operation, governed/secured by the "Tub Stacking Association" (TSA).
By having Scarlett Johansson play the role of the pilot in the next movie instead of that Denzel Washington guy.
Tax payers. (Disclaimer: I voted against the guy, but I'm part of the 48% of the popular vote that wanted a better America for my kids.)
YES.
Good question. My fiancee is a lawyer. I won't diminish her profession, but simply put, there are those that can be persuaded to argue whichever side is paying the biggest dollar for them to argue. (Translation: It's not up to the lawyers.)
Thanks for the questions.

Branson just released a presser stating that he has hired George Jetson and Mr. Spaceley to head up VX’s UAV division.
Branson then stated: “There’s only one thing worse than war and that is business.” He then promptly declared; JESTON. YOU’RE FIRED!
P.S. If you know what these names correspond with, you probably previously flew 727 and DC-9s....sigh

The FAA doesn't agree with your assessment of civilian UAVs operating in national airspace.
The FAA is an antiquated bureaucracy, often times likened to a time warp, whereas when a person walks into their offices, they're surrounded by corduroy & polyester. They don't make these decisions on their own. They're direction is given to them by whoever's pockets are being padded the most in our non-dysfunctional (sarcasm) administration.
I blame the FAA for the return of the fashion statement of bell bottom pants.
Seems they have a problem with that whole 'see and avoid' concept, or lack thereof in the case of UAVs, even with ground based human operators.
You and I both know that current video resolution is not adequate to satisfy that requirement;
that is why the unmanned industry is trying to get 'sense and avoid' passed.

First it was video conferencing, that put us out of business. Then FaceTime put us out of business because everyone had it. Uav's put us out of business the next time.
Until Scotty gets the teleporter fixed, I'm not gonna bother calling truck master.

When we first got this technology it astonished me how many airplanes were there, unseen. Further, some types have much better visibility than others. A Mooney with a large 6 CYL and tons of avionics does not have a lot of outward visibility.

Gearjerk -
You should get out of your current business and come on over to the FAA's UAS Integration Office.
Sounds like you have all the answers to the complex problems associated with integrating UASs into the NAS on a WIDE scale and could save the organization AND the nation BILLIONS of dollars!
