The reason that the continuing series of prangs do wind up in the local paper is that HA is wooing a junior D grade journo who works there. Everytime a red and white plane ploughs into the scrub somewhere she apparently runs about and pours cold water all over the fire to try and hide it. The TV news are clearly still happy to run the story. Pictures of drunk cowboys all standing on top of the broken and crippled wreckage toasting their survival appeared last night I believe. I don't see any point in congratulating the company on covering up their latest crash. Maybe not crashing would be the best cure for bad
PR. Why not give it a try sometime?
