He's unwilling to fly it as designed even though he consciously recognizes the need to and is told numerous times he needs to change his style and understand the machine better by both his friend and Yui.
He's had all of what, two days with the Fubuki? And you're expecting that to override the habits of years?

Also note his comments prior to the anti-BETA exercise, where he makes the determination to master the Fubuki. He's trying, but he's got a few years of muscle memory and habits he needs to unlearn, which takes time.

That said I agree he has an attitude problem, and Yui was right to call him out on it. She didn't have to resort to race baiting, however.
