Like the sign on the park bench, “Wet paint. Do not touch.”

Good luck with that. Most drone operators are freelance. You’re always going to get undercut because there is low skill/cost barriers to entry.

I just raised my BS flag to full staff. Must be a boring weekend for the keyboard warriors. Christmas shopping finished so early with nothing to do?

It was sent out via ALPA that several drone pilots have been trying to access commercial Jumpseats

I guess SWAPA did not notify you of this, ALPA notified its members.

Any drone OPERATOR trying to access the jumpseat should be arrested and handed over to Homeland Security. End of story.

I suspect the drone operators in question are flying large aircraft sized drones ont hobby drones but neither is legal.

I don’t suspect that at all. I suspect they are simply idiots. I find this quite comical, but it obviously enforces the importance we verify our jumpseaters.
