Here something to think about from a article I read by - Patrick Eagan article
Recurrent Remote Pilot Certificate Part 107 numbers down 73% - sUAS News - The Business of Drones
so why is it????
I am sure there are those who jumped into this thinking they were going have a new career, those who do not want to take the time, and those who say they are not going to reinforce all this anyway.
On the same side there are those who hire drone guys and have no clue what to look for, the legality needed to properly do so. The drone guy's certificate has not experation date. So as far as people who ask know if the drone operater says they have a part 107 certification they can show them the card and there is no way of knowing the operator is not in current standing unless they do the leg work on the FAA site.
For the commercial guys here it also may help to know this information for your next job.
