Some people think that flying a plane is just like driving a car and in some ways it is, but it takes special skills to be able to fly a plane. Some of which are behaviors which can not be learned.
To be a pilot you have to be cool under pressure and know what to do to solve any problems that may arise during flight. If your engine fails, you need to know that you have time to fix it we can't just give up. If you lose your instruments you have to be able to fly without them, and if you're an airline pilot and something obvious goes wrong you have to keep the passengers calm and fix it at the same time.
Pilots are also people who tend to be laid back. This is because flying is such a calming activity. You can climb to cruise level off and let the plane do the flying so you don't have a care in the world. All a pilot really has to do in cruise is keep his heading- the rest is beautiful scenery. Less traffic too.
We as pilots also like to have complete control over our lives, so naturally flying comes easy. This is because in a plane you control everything. The plane reacts to you and it will do whatever you want it to. It's that significant other you wish that you wish you had but know doesn't exist.
Flying is that one thing that many people are looking for to complete their lives, but that few people actually find. It can either scare the hell out of you or be the best feeling in the world. It can be one of the most stressful or calming situations you have ever been in. It all depends on if you have what it takes.
