If you get your wings in the Air Force, you have a chance at having a drone as your first assignment. Pretty lame. I would be very surprised if they got combat pay or duty, since they could be operating from anywhere, regardless of where the drone is. With precision bombs and beyond visual range air to air engagements, there really is no need to put a pilot at risk doing that job. UAV's will be filling the skys in the very near future. The military will work out all the kinks. Then the air cargo pilots will be replaced, and after the public sees they dont drop out of the sky most pilots will be replaced that fly passengers. Say it cant happen? Sit back and watch. It already is.
