PS: I wonder how you others all feel about new pilots.

When I enlist them, I often have either a strong positive, or a negative feeling, how well and how long he might make it.
Sometimes I'd ponder a long time over which unit and region I should fly.
Other times, I know straight away which Jasta, region and time.
I'm not usually superstitious, but my feelings at the enlistment often came true.
