FAA. - What is an unmanned aircraft system (UAS)?
A UAS is the unmanned aircraft (UA) and all of the associated support equipment, control station, data links, telemetry, communications and navigation equipment, etc., necessary to operate the unmanned aircraft.
The UA is the flying portion of the system, flown by a pilot via a ground control system, or autonomously through use of an on-board computer, communication links and any additional equipment that is necessary for the UA to operate safely. The FAA issues an experimental airworthiness certificate for the entire system, not just the flying portion of the system.
I think the AF calls them drones.

Just heard Katty Kay on MSNBC talk about the F16 drone that flew yesterday. She said "I think I'd be a bit nervous about that, its one thing to have drones, but another thing to have actually have a plane flying around without a pilot...."
Sometimes you just cant make this stuff up. Just when you think MSNBC couldn't get worse, they surpass themselves......

Yeah! Anyone who has a dream to play pro sports is stupid too! Hahahaha. Everyone knows less than 1% of college athletes will ever make money playing a sport. All those dummies should quit.
Wait, I have another one!
Yeah! People who go to school to become a doctor and then only work for charities in 3rd world countries are stupid! Why work so hard and spend so much money if you'll never be a millionaire. Dummies!

I didn't really give one rip or another about this merger until now. If anything I was leaning towards approval because it would probably be best for the employees. But now that this TA has been voted in that threatens us all, I hope this the DOJ wins and this merger goes down in flames. If the merger goes down, this TA goes with it.

First off, Any athlete who has a chance of making it pro DOES NOT pay 100-150k learning to throw a pass or hit a ball, in fact they RECEIVE a scholarship worth that much in order to further said dream. What they choose to do with that education is anyone's guess.
Your doctor argument is also stupid. Yes, they do spend a ton of money to gain their education, but if they want to work for free in a 3rd world country, that is their CHOICE. If they were REQUIRED to work in said 3rd world country for 3-5 years in order to gain experience, then your argument here would be spot on!
Please educate yourself as to why this PSA agreement is incredible bad for the industry...
