It makes me a safe pilot that knows my own limits and can (and has) worked within them for over a decade in GA. In a safe, efficient and effective manor which means everyone goes home at the end of the day.
I'm sure you're pretty good, but you ain't the best, you aren't the next Yeager or Hoover, nor will you likely be a 'better pilot than anyone VA choose'. You'll most likely be a hack, like the vast majority of pilots, myself included. That is to say we screw smalls things up every flight, but strive to improve.
The ego you display will most likely get you and your future pax killed or seriously injured.
But hey I'm just a hack who's been around the block in Aviation a bit, I'm sure you know best with your vast aviation experience.
