The last thing you want on any flight deck, from space vehicles down to your rented Cessna 152, is drama. The best training out there tamps-down the drama and focuses on problem solving in a calm, clear-headed manner. If you're a drama queen then flying airplanes is probably not your best choice of careers or of weekend activities. "Pingers" are sent packing early on in military flight training.
