The ultimate solution is to let enlisted and other "fly" the UAVs.

The solution, I think, to getting more USAF UAV pilots trained and on duty is to implement a new "Warrant Officer" grade just like the Army's for its chopper pilots.

The fighter mafia won't have it though...

Not a bad idea, but there is ample precedence for NCO pilots...Flying Chevrons
