If the drone flies itself, what am I actually skilled at?

You and your team built this on flying well — tight lines, clean coverage, reading wind before the camera ever lifted. Now the drone does half of that alone, and you're sitting in a briefing wondering what you're even for. Here is the honest answer. You were never paid to fly a drone. You were paid to know what the data meant, and to tell the people above you what to do about it. The autopilot replaced the hand on the stick. It did not replace the mind reading the map. Stop grieving the stick. Your team still has to decide what the sensor should look at, which anomaly matters, what report leaves the room and changes a decision. That is the skill. Train it on purpose, together, or let it rot while you watch a screen.
