Sounds to me like some of you don't understand the concept of a target audience. In defence of Flight International, it's not a commercial aviation title - it tries to cover everything from space to defence to GA. It also does it weekly, while the other publications mentioned are monthlies.
FI still manages to come up with some huge exclusives (look at the NWA 787 deal, which FI had before any other news service - not bad for a weekly magazine in the age of the internet). By the way FI does have a separate dedicated commercial aviation news service but it's not available at the sort of price reggie-spotters would be willing to pay.
If you can't be bothered to pick up the right publication for your needs, then it's your fault, not the publisher's. FI is a business publication, not a spotters' guide. If you just want pretty pictures and historical information and regurgitated press-releases then there's plenty of enthusiasts' magazines out there. It's a free world.
