That's what the Commercial DRONE ticket is for. I'll bet U can make BIG money too ... LOL Did U see where UPS pilots just signed a new contract while (after 5 years with out a contract) A caption gets a $60 000 signing bonus and a first officer gets $40 grand. then The average UPS pilot covered by the contract earns $238,000 annually, UPS said in 2015. Captains, who rank higher than first officers, are guaranteed $255,128 and typically earn about $290,000, per year.
I don't think Drone Plots will come any where close to this, but one can only Hope.
