I have changed sides only twice in 33 months. The first was to join a Bish squad. The second was after the Bish squad disbanded (went to WW2OL) and I was pissed off. I joined Rook because they were down to 2 fields, and I fancied having a go in a Me163 which were going cheap for Rooks.

In AW I flew B alot (when I wasn't flying for A or C) because I liked red better than light blue or green -- YMMV.

Here, when I'm not flying for Bishop or Rook, I fly Knight because it's the most impressive Chess piece, IMO, and has a connotation to "Knights of the Air."

Haven't been flying all that much lately because it's been summer in Chicago, but I can gurantee I'll be flying a lot more for Knights, Rooks or Bishops come fall.

I'm loyal to my squadmates, but not to any country. They all look the same to me.

I started flying knights when AH first went pay for play. At that time either the rooks or bish tended to outnumber it up to 2 to 1.

In beta I'd flown all 3 sides, enough to see there was very little real difference between them.

Am I loyal to a chess piece, no.
I am loyal to those I fly with on a regular basis. I know who I can trust to clear my 6, who to believe when they check 6 me. And who I can count on to defend or attack when needed.

Since the knights STILL tend to be outnumbered more often than not I really see no reason to switch.

However if the #'s were reversed I'd certainly think about it, if only for a tour or 2.

Loyal to squad. When Rooks were down on numbers we switched form Knit. Went to Bish when Rooks got their numbers up and Bish were low.
