That's right, some people -- and I am NOT counting myself as a natural -- just learn more quickly and have more of an affinity for flying an airplane. Also, 'comfort' in my vocabulary is far from 'mastery', which I am a long way from. The point is, don't worry too much about low (piston) multi time; willingness to learn, professional attitude, flexibility, and endurance over the course of a 5 or 7 leg day are more important.
