I think we can be fairly sure TC is neither "old" or "new" money ......but we can certainly see which one he would like to be cant we 
I would like a new thread titled ..... " Are chippy short arses more likely to be aggressive pilots ?" ...that would be equally relevant and possibly more entertaining

Very funny!!
If TC could control his condescending superiority complex and afford a little humility and respect towards his fellow contributors, I'm sure many more people would be more receptive and would be grateful to benefit from his experience. Regrettably (and ironically), his massive ego won't allow that though. Which is a shame, because if TC had an iota of bedside manner, he might also enjoy the respect that many of the more experienced PPRuNers here have earned by sharing their experiences without the need to behave like a playground bully.
He likes to tell anyone prepared to listen (and probably a lot more who aren't) about all the badges on his anorak; in his world, he's successful (and don't you ever forget it!), but definitely not rich. Or tall. Life's so unfair
.
I don't believe TC has a problem with success per se, but he clearly has a big hang up with money; a problem that manifests itself in the majority of his usually defensive and aggressive posts. God only knows how obnoxious TC would be if he had money as well as lots of badges - but hang on a sec, that's an oxymoron, isn't it?
Dear TC . We have so far established you are 5'9" ........so short arse .
You are also a self proclaimed expert on all things helicopter .... So smart arse
You also appear to have a problem with people being successful .... So therefore we have got as far as short , chippy , smart arse
I actually do both ... I fly my own helicopters and wherever possible give other pilots the chance to fly for me . But to my knowledge I have never employed a "pleb " !!!!!! Maybe you would like an interview and you may be my first

Was TC military?
How could TC be ex-military?
Ex-military pilots imply frequently that short arsed chippy smart arses are kicked out from military pilot school and sent away to become self selected short arsed chippy smart arses.
But then I'm confused about Crab? as he always appears to be a height unknown chippy smart arse. So I am very confused about how this military chippy smart arse thing works? Is TC really an ex military chippy smart arse or a self selected chippy smart arse? or is Crab really a self selected chippy smart arse who then joined the military because if you can already fly? then maybe you can avoid the chippy smart arse review board?
Simple explanation please for the many non military smart arses like me?

oooh Frontbottom (ttb) hit another very raw nerve have I old boy?
Reduced you to this has it - vilification, belittling, supercilious remarks having no bearing on the topic at hand. Something in your frontbottom must have changed to work up to such an outburst, buddy.
Try very hard to stick to the thread. Concentrate, read the content slowly and repeat it over and over again until it sinks in.
Try to contain your comments to JP's "ATTITUDE" towards his latest pet project. Nothing more, nothing less. Try hard NOT to involve money or ability - think clearly, think attitude.
And who knows frontbottom - you too might find it in yourself to remain objective too. xx
EddieS: Gagging to get something off your chest bud? Can't do it under your original pseudonym? Have to register under a different one, just to get your rocks off? Enjoy While you are here, any chance of a constructive post on the thread?
Here's the big request: Frontbottom, EddieS, et al: please please don't respond to further denigration. It detracts from the thread and SP might even close it down.

Yes, sorry for the delay - was counting my money hence long delay.
Name calling in the playground takes me back to the days when I was a short arse with no money. Anyway, find a tall box TC, stand on it and look me in the eye. Tell me that one day you'll be content to accept your lot and that you'll become a little more collegial (sorry - had to use a grown-up's word there). Don't stress that some people are a lot more successful and have a lot more money than you and remember, as you rightly say, it's all about ATTITUDE (still totally oblivious to the irony). Try and think of that when you next post. Come on TC, you can do it bud... Concentrate... Focus...
