The next most important thing this thread brings out is that you need to know who you are flying with and regardless of whether you fit into a rotation or not, get a verbal committment before EACH FLIGHT if you feel your circumstances warrent a few minutes of alone time in the air...
Final Post on the matter.
Thanks,

Allthough a thoughtful idea, if you are flying 20 minutes at a time, it is quite easy for someone or several to pull up, start up and takeoff without talking to the guy that wants to own the sky. Then you are right back in the same situation.
Its still see and be seen as I just did a little while ago with four general aviations flying together playing chicken with an Airbus. I don't like it but they don't have to give way just because I am in a 40 million dollar plane and they are in a 40 thousand dollar plane.
