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....... :ok:

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.....:ugh: :bored: :*

So what!?!
:mad:

I've just checked with the HEMS crew. They both say I'm not boastful.

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!

what is a 'social issue'?

"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.

Isn't that, like, money you get if you don't have a registered tax paying job?

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.:8

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?:}

Bertie, I need you to tell me who gave you those photos. I thought they'd all been destroyed!:uhoh:

Bertie,

You are definitely in the wrong queue old son!!

You have been moved::}

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.

Great pic Bertie, made me smile!
SB:D

Say Bertie, are you the only dude that's wearing a green hat?

Mind you to be seen wearing a black hat around here, well thats got knobs on it for sure.

This thread reminds me of that old gag...
 

Q: How can you tell when there is a helicopter pilot in the room?
A: Because he'll tell you.

cheers,
c-top

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

If I'm on someones long queue and I push to the front, will I be next onto the short queue again?:zzz:
