It isn't going to happen - apparently there can be no guarantee that my words won't be edited (even "just for space constaints"), so they don't get to use my real name. End of story - any editing is unacceptable to me. However, Mr Kenny is free to use my words (which were freely given) - but he doesn't get my name to go with them.
I'm afraid to say that I have never read any newspaper that I regarded as reaching an acceptable level of accuracy on aviation reporting - and that includes "grown up" ones such as the Daily Telegraph and The Times. As such, I am not prepared to put my name to anything over which I do not have 100% control. It's a shame - I wanted to help but there you go.

The Gary Lineker one I know to be pure fabrication - I know the Captain in question and at no time did he say "I don't know what he's been up to this morning, but he's missed the flight.". BA told him to ignore the Mail because everything they write about BA is rubbish.
