Hey Pownage,
You are a great pilot. I've played with and against you a number of times under different names. You asked me to join the squad but I'm just not a squad guy. It had nothing to do with you.
Hang in there and I hope you keep trying. You were also a gentleman when you flew. Personally, I'd try to make it more, not less exclusive. Tell players you're only asking a select few really good junior pilots to build an elite squad like MOM but for younger players.
Keep at it and you'll have a cool squad.
