Wow. Quite a rant. Asked and answered.
Where? Provide the time stamps to support yourself.
No answers to a simple question.
He ain't got the goods, so he can't deliver the goods. Sounds about right.
Thus Tarek and his likes.
No, the good Gov doesnt have the goods. But apparently if I keep shooting down these dumb dumb posts (PIcard asked for HER, and wanted HER....he doesnt know how to get a ship without her? Thats nonsense) I get blamed for keeping dead arguments alive and beating a dead horse. For everyone else:
Picard : That's why I need your help. I need your mind. Your ability to see things others don't see.
Raffi: No, no, no, no. I will not go down another rabbit hole with you, JL.
Picard: Raffi,
Raffi: No, never again - Go. Get out of here, please.
No, he wanted HER. Not because he doesnt know how to charter space flights. That's ridiculous.

Look on the bright side. s2 will be the ‘getting the band back together’ or the ‘ we are always here for each other’ series, and TNG will get the coda it deserves.
Provide the time stamps in the episode for us to see. That's all you need to do.
As far as I recall, he wanted her, but he presumed she would know how to find a ship with a good pilot. She is a good pilot, but doesn’t have a ship. (She will take over from the hologram at some point.) She’s a bit Tom Paris/Ensign Ro, with a sprinkling of Tasha-If-she-lived and Will Riker (dunno what it is about first officers and conn experience.) Picard has a type it seems.
It seemed clear that he wanted HER. I dont think Picard would not know where to ask for a ship if that is all he wanted. He tells her that he needs HER for this, her mind. She says no, but gives him a Captain who will contact him. Separately, she does let curiousity get the better of her, as I think Picard HOPED, and she starts digging. Looks into Freecloud. How she determined that Maddox was there is not clear from the ep. But that he wanted her in this seems clear.
Possible I am wrong? Yeah. But doesnt it seem like he at least wanted to get her involved? Is that really such a crazy idea?
A little over 10 minutes into episode 3 she told us he asked her for the name of an off the books pilot with an unregistered starship.
A little over 18 minutes he contacts her for her computer skills and her search for the conspiracy, he sends the info on Maddox in order to find him.
At 40+ minutes she is with Rios and tells Picard she found Maddox. She also emphasizes she isn't joining Picard and is going to Freecloud She want's to prove that Federation/Romulan conspiracy that doomed the mission.

Round and round it goes...
And the point I made that others objected to is, why cant he ask TNG people to be involved but he can ask Raffi? The answer I got was "he didnt want Raffi to join him! That shows how little you know!" Really? Since it seems that that is EXACTLY what he wanted.
In any case, she did join. Moving on.....
In any case, she did join. Moving on.....
Yes. I am not saying she had her own ship. Not even a little bit.
Picard knew she knew where to find one (which she did) is all I am saying.
See what I mean? If I answer in any way, I am keeping this going.
Episode 2 a little over 36 minutes, he says he doesn't want his old crew risking their lives out of loyalty to him.
She did. But he didnt need her for that, and he asked her for more than that. I think that is fair to say.
No, but Tarek insists none of that happened. I have asked where his version of the show occurred. Still waiting on that.
Give the episode and time where that Raffi stuff happened.
Give the episode and time where that was said.
