Hi George, Dave here at Droners.io. I've seen a lot of pilots actually offer that as a service to their clients. Have you seen any of the FPV races from a pilots POV (i.e. on Youtube)? Its pretty insane, feels like your in the middle of a Star Wars movie. VR goggles would really push it to another level :)

I don't understand the AirBnb angle? Is that meaning it is a marketplace? Buyers and sellers?
Agreed. It reads like they're offering accommodation for drone pilots. Only rooms with a skylight perhaps?
Thats correct. Clients can search for a pilot and accept a bid from them. After the work is complete, the pilot creates an invoice, and the client pays them through the marketplace.
It sounds like something useful, but the AirBnb mention seems like a stretch. Based on your description, it could also be the 'Uber' for drones, if you get my drift.
Yeah the airbnb angle is confusing, quit the name-dropping.
