The FAA did very recently perform some test flying UAS and full size aircraft. It would seem to me that as long as the AMA is around, we modelers shouldn't loose our ability to fly models. Much like the EAA did for general aviation. So I think you might be correct. Airspace would have to be reclassified in some manor to do what amazon wants.
