Good point.
But really, the plane isn't bloody. Or, if it really is, only a fool would persevere in training in it - a student pilot with any bit of common sense would move on to a training environment with less bloody planes.
I go even further. The plane has no own thinking or mind, it is not a sailship ;-) ... So, the one being bloody could be the pilot and most probably, he is not treating the plane as simply being the sensible butt-extender of himself?
Switching the brain from "you can fly the plane by numbers and your brains thinking capability" to the real world "I have no clue why this piece of **** is flying, but my intuition enables me to bring it and me down in one piece" is the major breakthrough - long version of "click".
My 5 cents.
