So what happens during your flying exams, line checks and sim rides, with someone watching every move you make, even what hand you twist that knob with. No one, or very few like being monitored like that, but can get by. If you really hate it, your career in aviation will be even more difficult. Will you have low self-esteem because the captain is beside you watching your landings?
Mentioning your IQ of 103 is useless, it gives no indication of your ability to work as a team member or your flying ability. Pilot's dont need to be MENSA students, but they certainly need to be able to string a sentence together.
Go back to study Maths and improve on your Grade E, even if you decide on another career, it will help your options.
Yes there are some twits on PPRUNE but it's not fair to judge the people in the industry on the minority of a$$holes on PPRUNE, but a$$holes are not people who are being realistic about a career in flying.
