I was just going to post the same information:

I suppose there are still some here that will argue this was nothing more than a publicity stunt and that Amazon will never actually have drone deliveries.

The drone operators must also have a private pilots' license and current medical certification.

They also must fly VFR and below 400 feet, but it's the licensing and med cert that worry me!
