All I know is that you often hear about how pilots are quick to mention
the
fact that they are pilots, and I can't say as I blame them. The day I get
my certificate will be a very proud one indeed for me.

However, if it ever turns me into a pompous, judgemental pain in the
posterior, I hope someone is ready and willing to bludgeon me about the
noggin as necessary.

chuckle I doubt if that will be a problem for you, but we will hold you
to it! g

I'm convinced that those with personality defects before they get the PPL
will usually still have them afterwards, and sometimes magnified a bit.
Those that begin with a level head will exit with the same.

Of course, then there are MX's. Crazy as a loon, nutso, clinically
classifiable, and he doesn't even want to fly, but just pretends that he is
superior to pilots in every way.

So it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with your airborne/ landbound
situation. Just another manifestation of human personalities and disorders.
