I always thought it was 250#/per w/ all their gear ... but I'll take more if I can get it ...

Eventually, these arguments will be moot or you be on receiving end as the UAS mafia will be talking about how much gas they saved by eliminating the pilot. If you look at Air Force trend, both pilot and "backseaters" will be sitting side by side in a nice air conditioning room at Creech sipping coffee as they watch the action on a video screen. Navy is moving that way as well....
Unless you're flying an E-2D or a MH-60R/S, you're likely to be watching your buds man up as you make your way to your console high in the overhead in the hangar bay.
Yeah, but, yeah, but, yeah, but .... who are you gonna' go on Lib's with ... ???
Where's the core, the code, the honor ... ???
Where's the camaraderie .. ???
What would these guys say ... ???
Sometimes .... I weep ... for the future of Naval Aviation.
I have a solution that is the best of both worlds. All UAV operations worldwide would be commanded from a secure bunker at Cubi Point, PI. :icon_zbee
Can I be Leading Chief??? Huh??? Can I.... Can I... Please...

I don't think NMPC would have a hard time filling those spots even though it would be an arduous overseas assignment.
Where does this info come from??

Being on the boat when the VX-23 dudes brought it out, and talking to the LSO's that were waving them. Experienced boat dudes too. In the hands of a nugget, the LSO speculation is grim.
Find it hard to believe it's going to be more challenging behind the boat than the Prowler is today.
Roger that: or more challenging than the A-4, A-6, A-7, C-1, C-2, EA-3, KA-3, KA-6, E-1, E-2, F-4, F-8, RA-5C, RF-8, STOOF, TA-4, T-2C ... etc., etc. ....
Whoa, I'm exhausted. Nap time ... :sleep_125
Did I miss anyone? Anyone I care about ?? Don't want to hurt anyone's feelin's ...
Just sayin' ... wake me up for lunch.

Couldn't tell you, haven't flown it. However from what they said, the wave off window was somewhere out in the middle. Now think, Nugget making a play for the deck on a hot Persian Gulf night.

Good thing he has an NFO to help him pull the ejection handle.

Single Seat would rather die then accept help from a NFO.Good thing he has an NFO to help him pull the ejection handle.

I think you are right. I also think he'd rather fly a UAV then fly with an NFO. Don't worry Single Seat, we feel the same way about you!
