On a tangent, at the airline I work for, as time goes on the CTC cadets are perhaps 'believing their own hype' more and more. A bit of humility serves people well at any stage of an aviation career.
One less controversial recent story that made me laugh. New CTC cadet giving long rambling briefing to the training captain (a brief should be, well, brief). After a few minutes of this, to prove a point the captain turned and looked out of the window. Cadet tugs on the captain's shirt and says "OI! The briefing is in here not out there!" Fantastic
