And?

I have no particular problems with sharing airspace with a UAV, I just
want it to be able see and avoid other planes at least as well as any other
plane out there, and I want to to follow the same rules that I follow. For
lots of good reasons, that includes a rated pilot at the controls.


bah - operating a UAV isn't piloting. You don't need to be a pilot
to operate a UAV.
