Is the USAF still requiring that UAV pilots be genuine "winged" pilot officers?

I bet there are "video-game nerd" teens who could blow most such pilots' pants off...

When they field UACVs with F-22 flight performance capabilities (and no human "G" limitations) that will be an unbelievably deadly combination...

I doubt it. I have done a lot of gaming and I have found the teen gamers are not as good at making complicated tactical decisions in real time. They are mainly just fast at pressing memorized button combinations. Force a player to make complicated decisions very rapidly and twenty and thirty-something players cream them.
