Yep...Piano Man is on the money.
I've been trying for several years to crack a start but can't seem to be there at the right time...probably helps if you know someone as well, which I don't (anymore).
My 3000+ hrs, of which only 70 is floats has been no advantage over the "young fella's" with much less total time and a bare floats endo.
There's nothing wrong with the way it works I guess...just have to be there which is fair enough....
