When a flier evades to get a jinks save, the flier can only fire snapshots. But the Tau Sunshark bomber has drones, which the codex states are treated as passengers. Would they fire at full BS?

Also in a flier zooms what distance defines cruising speed, is it 19-36 inches or just 36 inches. Because if the drones are passengers they have to snapshoot when moving at cruising speed

Combat speed for a flyer is 18".
Cruising speed is up to 36". So moving 18.00001" is cruising speed.
My take would be only snap-shots for the passengers at minimum, since that's what other instances of effects causing a vehicle to only snap-fire do to their passengers.
