I'd believe anything after that "Drone Pilot War Hero Medal" debacle.

But even if it's approved by the fed, they will obviously not get any reciprocal agreements... except with each other

Is that update something that went out to the entire association? Or just your company pilots?

There are civilian drone pilots?

Btw it would actually be wise for ALPA to bring civilian drone pilots into the association when they do appear. Get them unionized and collective bargaining from the get go keep wages up

Hard to get good wages and benefits when a 12 year old with rich parents can do the job.
