On the other side, the old hands say there is nothing like a pilot in the cockpit to make decisions, evaluate, etc.

Reality is we need both - And there is room from both - Another reality is....when your as$ is on the ground and you have to call in for a drop danger-close.......you want it from human eyes from a pilot above, I'll tell you that......not eyes from thousands of miles away looking through a straw-size hole...with even less SA...(of course if that is all you have as an option, if the sh*t is flying enough....you'll take it and wish for the best).

DevSix nails it....bunch of civilians calling for more drones might not have been the best call.
