Hmmm, imagine that.. The Air Force can't get enough people who signed up to fly real airplanes to go fly drones... Did it really take a year long study for them to realize why???
It probably took a year's study AND a few million in funding to figure out what we'd all consider obvious... Besides working for CBP, there's literally next to nothing that can be directly done with drone experience, though without the physical demand, it's likely possible to fly UAV/RPAs/whatever they're calling them these days well into one's AARP years.
Lol. You'll live it down...eventually.
Don't worry, I hear they will be moving KC-10 pilots over to fly drones. Not much different - push a few buttons, sit back and watch...

Last year (I guess) at the McGuire AFB open house, I was talking with a guy, I think he had come out of C-17s and was now an UAV pilot.
I find it hilarious they wear flight suits to sit in a Lay-Z-Boy and play Flight Simulator.
Good point. Why not show up in boxers flip flops and a Jimmy Buffett shirt to do the job...?
because when you are sending a hellfire missle into a compound full of bad guys you have to give the situation the respect it deserves.
