RAT 5, yeah, certainly reads that way.
What I see in the posts are the same familiar statements from those who only have commercial interests at heart but don't seem to have a first notion of how the remarkable levels of safety have been achieved in aviation over the decades.
The argument (re methods of delivery and numbers of fatalities, etc.), is understood, but what I see is the reliance upon statistical concepts to justify a continuing acceptance of a known, (and growing) risk.
It's not the kind of thinking that yields continuous improvement in any endeavour, but particularly aviation.
Despite an encouraging responsible use of drone technology by large commercial interests, there remain some drone users who seem incapable of, or unwilling to exercise responsible use and so these kinds of arguments certainly are not going to delimit drone use and curtail regulatory involvement.
