We do a 2 day ATP course that does well competing with ATP. thanks for the kind words. I'll get you the info on the UAV jobs. They pay $20K a month to land UAVs in Balad, but they usually take 300 hour pilots to do that. The Guard does the UAVs from riverside, then the contractor pays big bucks for them to do the same job as when they where the uniform. They pay contractors $80-90K a year to teach USAF simulators, that's why I say it pays more not to fly than to fly.
the other dirty secret to UAVs it it increases, not decreases the demand for pilots. Mainly because the vehicle is usually slower and it never stops flying.
