Some got it easy, some did not, some got lucky some did not. You seam to think you are on a higher skill level Sandy, personally, quality, quantity and skill all climb with time and effort, it seams you were born with it, hence easy and lucky. I did not, I work hard and pay thousands like many others do; to ask a fellow pilot to split the costs to time build is nothing new and nothing elligal about it. To insinuate that my experience in the industry is poor quality due to the fact that I lack some night time for my ATP is a poor quality attack from you with no relevance to the topic at hand. Personally, weather you have a fresh ppl or Me/Mc crm 10k hr military pilot, attitude is what gets you through it all....best of luck to you too.
