Nothing worse than having a pilot who's not confident. Confidence plays a huge role to whether or not you'll pass a CPL or IR skills test. What happens if he gets a sim assessment with an airline 1 year after finishing training with only a handful of hours since. How will he feel then?
It might just be because he feels he is out of practice, in which case get into practice with an instructor. Once he gets more hours under his belt this feeling might not ever return. Or it could be something deeper. Only your friend knows how he feels and his situation.
