My, my what a load of ego's there seem to be here.
As has been said before, this is a good article that puts Heli's in a positive light in a major newspaper. How can that be a bad thing?
We may all have differing opinions about parts of it, but for god's sake get off your high horses.
Thomas Coupling, you seem to make a habit of producing angry and in my view non-sensical postings. This article was not about sky gods or however else you may wish to describe yourself, but about normal folk who may wish to use a heli for their own purposes, or do you want to keep this industry totally to yourself?
To be totally honest, speaking as a CFI, CPL(H), ATPL(A) and all round superhero (in my own mind admittedly) this flying lark is not as difficult as you are trying to make out. Maybe it is for you, but I really quite enjoy it. It's challenging certainly, but there are other things that I find harder, such as trying to plaster a wall properly.
One last thing, Mil pilots are usually good handling pilots, but if they all had an ego like yours they would be the last people I'd want to sit next to. Luckily all the best crews I've worked with have never had this issue. Something about letting their actions do the talking I believe.
