I've never met anyone who was a ''natural pilot''. I've been called a natural pilot by some and I told them I had to study everything twice as much as most. I think the term , ''natural pilot" is wrong to ever use.
College shows that you can train your mind, learn how to learn. And most airline pilots will tell you that stick and rudder skills are not tested on the Oral exam. ;-)
I've known very good pilots who didn't finish college. And I've known some rotten ones with degrees.
