What are these "superb" pilots born with. I have met some very good stick and rudder pilots but I never have met one that knew how to handle all different emergency situations.

This idea that some how we have been blessed with this innate nature to handle every catastrophic problem is disturbing.

After reading through all 8 of these pages I have seen every hazardous attitude that we are suppossed to guard against. What ever happened to the idea that everyday is a learning experience. When you think that you have arrived...whether in the left/right seat of a shiny tube or a single pilot in alaskan cargo fly by night operation. If you ever allow yourself to slip into this mindset, you are just asking for problems to occur.
