I totally disagree with you frequentflyer. You can't just use the excuse, "thats what they told me" and then wash your hands of any responsibility.
Unless you write for your school newspaper, that is.
Surely you should be attempting to report the truth, a few simple questions (how many engines, how many seats wide, high or low wing) would have helped identify type.
Doing the basics correctly and being thorough and accurate, we call it professionalism. Just glad that the crew involved don't have the same sloppy attitude towards their jobs.
