This from Wikipedia.
In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiority and mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. (...) Other investigations of the phenomenon, such as "Why People Fail to Recognize Their Own Incompetence", indicate that much incorrect self-assessment of competence derives from the person's ignorance of a given activity's standards of performance. Dunning and Kruger's research also indicates that training in a task, such as solving a logic puzzle, increases people's ability to accurately evaluate how good they are at it.
I have about 100 hours experience of hang gliding and a frankly embarrassing one hour in a 737 simulator. I know I can't fly an airliner.

however, this young man will end up in court and it is to be hoped that the court will receive an assessment as to his mental health and act in an appropriate manner.
You lot don't seem to realise that the vast majority of the public believes exactly the same as this doofus.
Its all just pushing a few buttons, innit mate! The autopilot flies it!

The real issue is today's generation of kids. In my day, if you were going to steal a plane with zero flight training, first you stole a C150, then worked your way up to stealing a complex and multi, then turbines. Kids are so entitled these days they think they can graduate straight to stealing jets. Ridiculous.
