Let's talk about egos. I like your example from Einstein very much. I met a 25 year old new hire at JB about a year ago. Daddy paid for all his ratings, no college degree, 2 regionals, no PIC time other than CFI. He had the biggest ego I have ever seen in my 18 years of flying in the military or civilian. Not all, but a lot of these gateway guys will be even worse than him.
