I think you may be right, however, would self analysis after many failures cause you to leave the career? I have failed one checkride(PC) as a Professional Pilot. Too me, once is enough and I would never want to experience that again. My career has spanned 23 years so far. What would be the "magic" number before embarrassment and doubt set in and you began to question your ability as an Aviator? I think embarrassment alone would be a big factor for me, i.e., not having the capability to do the job anymore. What you think?
