Hi Clandenstino
I am no thrill seeker at work, I can assure you, although I will swim naked in our outdoor swimming pool at home...thats about as thrill seeking as I get! Actually, I do it because I can!
I fly autolands when the weather is crap. I do not seek out the thrill, I just enjoy monitoring an A320 "doing its thing" during a CAT 3B automatic approach. It concentrates the mind as you are fully aware. Nothing wrong with that, is there?
Funny that you went to interviews where they examined your head....I have worked for 5 UK companies and apart from my current employer which took over my previous one I have been offered employment on 4 separate occasions based on interviews, sim rides etc. I have never knowingly had my head examined and yet I have been flying jets successfully since I was 23. Gained a command 3 years ago aged 30. Looks like I slipped through the net, didn't I ?
Some people are happy with their lot, some are not, obviously.
