Stickandrudderman - yes that is a good idea. Did anything ever come of AOPA's mentorship scheme?
Not that I'm aware of.
I can imagine that there are some well meaning experienced guys who are saying, "here I am, where are my mentees?" but I think the reality is that it's a bit like car-sharing. A great idea in priciple but finding two or more people who want to leave at exactly the same time from exactly the same place and go to exactly the same destination is nigh on impossible.
