    WASHINGTON— The FAA authorized two more companies to operate drones beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). UPS Flight Forward with its Matternet M2 can conduct small package delivery and uAvionix with its Rapace can use the Vantis Network to test its detect and avoid technology.

    Did our crack IBT/TDU Research Department see this coming? Was the Union bargaining committee aware of this wholly owned UPS subsidiary? If UPS "desires" to use this technology in the next five years, can the new technological change language stop it?

      UPS' drone delivery ambitions have been given a significant boost following a key decision by the Federal Aviation Administration.

          The question asked is, can the NEW Language STOP the use of delivery drones or driverless trucks. It sounds like UPS and the Teamsters will bargain the effects not stop, limit or control. Sounds like Jobs lost to me. Where are all the OZ-VOTE YES supporters to answer the question?

          The media is paying a lot of attention to this Drone delivery without mention of impact on people or environment. I'm not sure folks will appreciate these things flying around but will they have any choice.
