The FAA counts it as PIC time, and it is a turbojet. The UAV pilots will probably have aircraft you can sit in to fly for currency, so they will probably get as many landings as any other pilot. I think the value of USAF training is a big plus. Also, at least at first the Active Duty UAV slots will be a small number. The package haulers will probably use UAVs in the not to distant future so it might be a BIG plus. A UND student told me a major night freight company (will remain nameless) just bought them a UAV and said figure out how it works and how we can retrofit our aircraft. Don't have independent confirmation of that though.
