Default how do you guys (or they) log Predator time?

My ex-Mil buddies here at Netjets give me different answers, maybe you guys know.

(dumb question)

How do major airlines and/or flight departments take into account Predator time? Do they consider that valid PIC time? Is it possible to go from a Predator right into a good flight-department like Caterpillar or Procter & Gamble???

just curious

UAV time is not able to be logged as anything other than UAV time. No, it won't help you meet requirements to get hired.

Yeah that's what I thought but I wasn't sure.

So guys get drafted to operate those things, there are no volunteers in that program, that sucks...

Part of the growing pains for the wave of the future. I guess someday somebody will take UAS over the crappiest airplane...

Not true. Not everyone has an eye on building time for an airline career.

True statement, and if you're one of them there is some spooky stuff going on in the UAV world if you're into that kind of thing.

Jughead, what do you know anyways?
Airliners now are so automated, they are just UAV's with the operator sitting closer to the aircraft.
I think you are getting too settled in that Gucci-lifestyle that you are in.
Get a haircut, will ya?
