It doesn't take that much intelligence, particularly when most instruction
relies on rote learning rather than application of theory. *Rote learning
makes it possible to teach anyone anything, in time.

If they aren't smart enough to fly, they can go to Europe. I hear France
accepts sub-standard Americans.


It's even harder to get a license in France than it is in the U.S. *And the
rewards are fewer.


Nope.
