SEATTLE, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- It's apparently up, up and away for Amazon's air delivery fleet since the company is now advertising for a delivery drone pilot — and a flight safety manager.
The company first announced its intention to launch a drone delivery squadron — now dubbed Amazon Prime Air — a year ago. Only six weeks ago the FAA approved the first commercial uses for drones, giving the go-ahead to six companies to use camera-equipped drones on certain movie and TV sets. The move set the stage for an expected next wave of drone approvals in 2015 for industries from agriculture to media to online retailers.
