The facts are there are many personality types who fly and many reasons that people take up flying
We even had a poster who took up flying to get over a fear of flying
The best reasons are a love of flying and I am sure even the vast majority of professional pilots wouldn't do it if they didn't deep down love flying
We all get days when we question why we do this but for most the driving force is a passion for what we do PPL or commercial
Then there are the others
Those who fly for some sort of ego trip
Some who fly because their parents did
Some as some sort of escapism
The list goes on some fly for good reasons others not so good and a few are a danger to themselves and others but they are normally noticed and either weed themselves out or are weeded out
But that's life and I too would be surprised that an instructor coming across such a character would chuck it in over the experience
