Used as way to judge both general skill level AND fighter seat-time. We are, after all, a fighter squad.
I know that there are many capable fighter pilots who don't reach that rank. The reason is not that they aren't good in a fighter, it's that they don't spend enough time in one to achieve a higher rank.
As I don't want the squad to exceed 10 members and we're already at 7 I'm not willing to add someone that's not going to be active in a fighter. I don't want one of those squads with 30 members and only 5 of them actively play. Whats the point? The way it is now there's almost always 2-3 and sometimes as many as 5 of us on at a time during prime time.
We have made exceptions. Someone came to me one night who clearly didn't have the "stats" we were looking for. I asked him to come fly with us (myself and two others were on at the time) and, after flying a few missions together and discussing it among us we invited him to join and I'm glad we did. He's a great guy and improving remarkably fast.
As to going to the DA with you I'd love to do that. I've only ever been there once in the six years I've been playing AH. Look me up or PM me if you're serious.
[EDIT] kilz, actully, if you came to me I'd wonder why as you've been an LTAR for a relatively long time if I remeber correctly.
That brings up the point though that I/we won't invite anyone already affiliated with another squad. I don't want the headaches of being accused of raiding other squads for members and there's no real reason to do so.
