There are captains who would end your job and possibly your career if you spoke like that to them. Interpersonal skills are as important as technical skills. I wish you luck but I fear you may be found out a long time before you get any where near a commercial cockpit.
The psychometric testing would hopefully pick up on these adverse characteristics.
Many moons ago I ran the CPL/IR upgrade courses under CAP509 at PIK.
One of the first things I said on day one of a new intake was that they should regard this as a 9 week interview process.
The vast majority were fine and are now Captains around the world.
