SPS,
Naah, I didn't take it that it was directed at me at all.
Heck, as for feelings towards high time pilots, I have one who has taken my card, if he gets some ferry flights to bring a 'copter back to Ft. Laud, he says he'll give me a ring. (Heck the price of a 1 way plank ticket to get 12 or so hours of turbine time bring it back? I'm there!)
My biggest fear if I go with him is making some sort of wonderful blunder, not that I could do it any better hehe ... and knowing I'm a novice he wouldn't be making judgements anyway, it would be an instructional flight. but you know what I mean.
Cull hit it, I would like nothing more than to extract the info out of Floyd's noggin and use it the best I can ... I really hope he calls, it would be an adventure for me.
Sure, I'm envious of 'em, but I will get there by learning and experience, not to mention time and $$$$$
