Some of what you say makes sense and I agree with you but some does not , at least me me anyway.
In para. 3 I did not ask a question I made and observation.
Para 5 . I think you seem to use a bit too much praise to describe a pilots job Ie. " magnificent being ' still I guess that's journalistic licence and that's your right. As a Pilot I would like to think you are right but alas I do not.
Lastly. I still think it's " poor reporting " as it's just a lot of "attention grabbing headline wording " and not really necessary but I guess you think it is as is your right but I don't.
