[QUOTE="Shalimar, post: 1473264, member: 9600"] The assumption that the person bringing us together is a mech pilot is easy. If the guy was an Aerospace fighter, he would build an aerospace unit, and hire the unit out for that. Mech pilots have little to no respect for a non mech pilot, thats the way it works, either the guy is a mech pilot, or aerospace(and that doesn't really make sense), or the guy is just a PBI(Poor Bloody Infantry). Mech pilots are just that elitist. The other reason is if the guy didn't have a mech, everyone we would all think the guy is dispossesed, and that is a major stigma, no one would hire on to be under a man who cannot even look after his own mech, if he can't afford a new one, then he quite simply cannot afford to keep a mech unit supplied with the basics, let alone expendables like ammo and dropship transport which is rather pricey. There are some pretty ingrained truths in this era of Battle-tech, heck, throughout all of battle-tech, the fact that no mechwarrior respects a non-mech warrior is one of them, which is why a non-mechpilot is very very unlikely to be able to hire so many experienced pilots.
