I recently interviewed with a UAS logistics company called Zipline. I have a second interview next week. I am currently a 2500 hr helicopter pilot and have a decent, steady job.
Has anyone made the transition from traditional aviation into the UAS world? Anyone familiar with Zipline or drone delivery companies?
I would be taking a step back in pay and taking a somewhat entry level role with hopes to move up in the ranks quickly. My thinking is that the ceiling will be much higher with a UAS company as I believe that industry will continue to grow and innovate while establishing itself and cutting in to markets that traditional aviation currently hold. This is just an assumption though, I am really completely new to the commercial drone world.
Thanks for any input
