Does anyone think the role or requirement for a pilot will drastically change over the next 5-10 years because of a greater reliance on unmanned aerial vehicles? From an outside - in perspective it seems as if the roles of flight operations oriented personnel may be in greater demand than pilots themselves. I know the dogfighting and instinct/reaction of a pilot argument always finds its way into this conversation but in all reality will having 50 drones that can perform recon, ecm and attack roles be more realistic/efficient from a budgeting and safety standpoint? Main question is if people starting out in the SNA pipeline need to worry about job security; i.e. possibly being forced out of aviation due to over staffing? My personal interest revolves around aeronautics so I would be more than happy in either role, NA or NFO, but didn't know if anyone with exposure to this subject had any advice for those starting out down the path of naval aviation. Could a pilot possibly transfer to a role as an NFO should a drastic decrease in staffing requirements for pilots take place? It seemed like this is a legitimate question so I figured I'd ask.
