Default MATs

Sean, you know very well that i want more Assigned tasks both in Canada
and in the US.

In regards to your stats, have you dropped all sports class contests
from the numbers? If not, you should as sports class does not do AST,
which is fine.. The tasking philosophy of Sports class in the major
reason I choose not to fly in said class, my opinion will most likely
change when I get old ;-)

Your point about AST being real head to head type of race is well made,
but MAT and TAT are also a real test of skill, i.e the pilots ability to
read the WX which is after all a major part of flying.

In the end, it appears to me that the top pilots win regardless of task
type, they fly their own flight, adjust the strategy and tactics to the
given task type and above all have good situational awareness.
