Good summary Homesick, but there's one small flaw underlying it. All think they know how to fly, but very few can do anything more than drive an aircraft through the air. That would explain the ATO's deep mental illness, since as Shakespeare observed, "Naught's had. All's spent. When our desire is got without content." They eventually realize they're better at parroting established dogma than anyone else, and acting like a pilot, but still haven't achieved mastery of themselves, let alone an aircraft.
