It all ways amazes me how much drama they can make out of flying . It may work for the laymen that has never piloted a plane .. But every day flying has no drama .. just do what you should make your checks , and hope the mechanic have done their job.. It can be very boring ..
What it does offer is getting up in the air away from everyone .. and traveling in a strait line to your destination you get there faster .. at a bigger expense if you are a privet pilot ..
I did not enjoy it that much and could not afford it .. some time i think of going up just to relive the feeling .. it has been 25 yrs when i last piloted a plane .. and i would not go up with out a instructor But I still remember what to do and how it feels ...
