Well, most of our RPA pilots would. Most are there against their wishes. Needs of the Air Force and all. If you understood what they actually do for the war effort you might not be so dismissive. The majority of us are over the whole "RPA ain't combat" thing. He came on here for advice and thoughts, not ridicule.

Does 'drone time' count towards 'flight time' on an airline app?
Serious question, I have no idea. I guess if they count simulator time, you could make the drone time argument too.
I thought the Air Force now had a completely different "Drone Track". I know for years they were sending UPT grads to flying drones instead of jets, but I thought that was over. Are they still sending UPT grads there, against their will?

If you've been an RPA/UAV pilot, I'll at least acknowledge your point of view. So... have you?
However... if you haven't... then sit down.
"Sit on a couch and pretend."? Seriously?
Get a grip.
You don't even know what you're talking about.

How much more condescending can you get?

A lot!
You're right, I have no idea what it's like to "Fly" a drone.
So why don't you enlighten me.
How many drone 'pilots' have been killed in drone crashes?

Continue what?
It's your turn. Please enlighten me on how dangerous it is to 'fly' a drone into a combat zone, and then sleep in your own bed every night?
So just tell us how many Drone pilots have we lost in combat?
