My personal opinion is pilots as a group are not all that much different from any other group of people working in any other occupation.
Any job, once you're trained for it and skilled at it, becomes, "easy". Lee Westwood finds Golf easy ... but I don't want him flying my airplanes ... in fact I would have a far better chance at parring the last hole to win the British Open than he would have at landing the AF 447 flight. I would probably bat over 500 on the "golf" while he would bat zero. Now here's a difficult job that the lads are neither trained at, nor experienced in ... The ACPA exec's who have to get themselves out of the hole they dug. (and pushed everyone into, I might add)
