Character Flaws
I was thinking about the people I have flown with and the pilots I've met over the years - It struck me that most of them have some kind of 'social issue'.
What makes a helicopter pilot become boastful / arrogant / insane ...or perhaps; why do boastful / arrogant and insane people become heli pilots?

Recognizable....... 
Must be somewhere in the medical test.... they might have removed something somewhere... or maybe those electrodes they stick to your head. They did it to me as well.....
So what!?!

The vast majority of helicopter pilots I've met are neither boastful nor arrogant but helpful and charming. If you think that all helicopter pilots are boastful and arrogant, perhaps it's just you!!! 
Can't speak about the "insane" bit though!

Aw why not Bronx? They're so sweet and appealing (just like helo pilots!) and how could you refuse those big, soulful, yellow eyes? Just think of the warm, fuzzy feeling you get knowing that you've fed a poor, helpless creature!

"The average helicopter pilot, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feeling as love, affection, intimacy and caring. These feelings just do not involve anyone else."
All people are put into queues.
Being simple, I only have two queues in my life.
A very short queue and a very long queue.
The short queue is the one that I put people I like in.
The long queue is the one that I put people in that are KNOBS!!
I can move people from one queue to the other.
I have moved a lot of people from the short queue to the long queue.
People with 'social issues' go in the long queue.

I want to see the last para!
No doubt an insightful, well-considered observation which would have enhanced an already relevant and thought-provoking post.

tbc; which queue do people with a copy of a photo showing you, a toy sheep, some 'giraffe' coloured keks and an plastic 'knob-shaped' nose, go in?
I didnt actually say that I have a copy!
I was simply mentally scarred for life when the fearsome image burned itself permanently into my memory.
...and now I'm in the KNOB queue.

Bertie, you should have kept quiet about not having the photos - those involved would have been obliged to keep you in their "short queue"..
