If theres two helicopters, Kalani and Pegs flying them. which one you flying in?
The ones Michael is in of course. i think that one isnt going to make it and will kill off those characters.

I love that the logic you used is taking the storytelling medium as the logic and not the actual circumstances. Watch Saul be able to fly, and we just don't know about it. He did know how to rig knots for zip lines, maybe, just maybe, he was trained for other aerial maneuvers.

He trained with mountain troops, I think that's where he got the know-how to do that. Then again, he may have also conveniently happened to have trained with a unit with access to choppers, who knows?

I'd be flying with Kalani. He's the more experienced pilot, so he'd more likely get me home safe. And he's not distracted by that pesky concience Pegs seems to have.

Saul is just a regular Infantryman. He's not going to have the technical knowledge to fly Helicopters. In the first episode Michael says that he came from the Mountain Div. in NY which would be the 10th Mtn Div. while they do have helicopters there they focus more on being regular light infanty. Light infantry's mission is to close with and destry the enemy... on foot. To go with what J0be was saying any training he has had with Helicopters would be just how to get on and off of them without getting his head chopped off by the rotars.
Even if he was in an Air Assault unit like the 101st the Army wouldn't have trained him how to fly.

Edit: and I'm with you I'd go with Kalani!

Sounds good to me. Just firing out mad theories from the quiver.

hahah. Good Answer Leedo! You know what Dude.. you just put a really big hole in the Saul is the Rat theory people are trying to push. I knew Saul wasn't from Cali due to the fact they mentioned he moved to Cali because of the women, but i missed the NY reference even knowing the 10th MD was his unit.
Soooo.. he had to have gotten in trouble prior to moving to Cali, because he was already enlisted by that time. Therefore....... wait for it, he wouldn't know any of the convicts from Eastern Bay (besides the fact he was in Jail and not Prison).

Hmm... I took it as he moved BACK to Cali. I was assuming that he joined while living in CA then got stationed at Ft. Drum. I really never thought that Saul would have been the rat any way because of the feelings he had towards Michael Lizzy and even Angel and Burt. He has that kinship that's fostered like in a military unit with the people that he was "stuck" with. I used to think it was Kalini as he was the new guy or Kelly because she is/was just like that (maybe had a Maller as a client?). I kind of gave up guessing who the rat is and just look forward to being supprised LOL!

You're both a little wrong. It doesn't state which specific unit he was in.

Just going by what I remember, Michael mentioned NY and add to that the only "Mountain Division" in the Army is the 10th Mnt Div. in Ft. Drum NY I just did the math

.

Again in the WA universe there might be other units similar or maybe KC just didn't want to put the actual unit in the show.
