In defence of Flyer, until you've tried writing 800 words, reasonably readable, every month to a deadline, without fail, take care of your right to criticise.
No I don't write for Flyer, but I do write a column of the same length every month for another flying magazine. It amazes me that after one or two of my more desperate efforts I'm still writing for them. (That said, the piece that got me the most praise from readers was a desperate last-minute rehash of something I'd written for another magazine 2 years before!).
