I am aware of the fact that the small sUAV is hard to see, but then again the pilot's seem very sure of their distance from their aircraft and there is no mention of an effort to avoid the sUAV. No matter if the sUAV is in the wrong, the airliner pilot should be making an effort to avoid the sUAV.

Sporty, read this link. it says 5 Miles from an airport. It also says not to fly above 400ft. So what is this clown doing at 1000-1200 ft altitude in an airport area?, Much less, what is he doing flying in a direct path of a landing zone for airliners??? Duh...... I just can not get the mentality of some people that consider their right to fly a drone, when it involves putting lives in danger, I just can't get that picture and never will. Those types of people will end this Hobby for sure unless they wake up.
