All that may be true in Warwick, but not in other parts of the UK and the world. The key here is to cut through the hype and identify the use-cases for which drones could be cost-effective. There certainly are some examples. And remember there are many different types of drone with very different characteristics. I am aware of one Africa-based freight airline currently operating 747's that is seriously looking into (big, turbine powered) UAV's as a long term part of their operation. When describing his business model, the CO said that the biggest problem he faces day to day, is his pilots!
(incidentally, although we are still a long way from autonomous, pilot-less airliners, I predict the change will come from the bottom-up with increasingly large and complex UAV's for urgent/high value freight operating under a very different set of rules and requirements)
