I can understand what you are saying, but what does getting a pilot license have to do with making the safest UAV pilot? Especially when any kid can master a quadcopter in an hour. I think much more fitting would be a ground school and test so a "pilot" knows the rules. Then some basic quad copter flight test. There is very little correlation with flying UAVs and real planes. Why the UASF spends the money to send a guy through pilot training only to go to a UAV squadron is beyond me, as well as why someone would have to shell out thousands to get a pilot rating he doesnt need.
