My thinking exactly. If I were a journalist, I would be very ashamed to read this particular thread. I mean, we have a very professional pilot here who was in a genuine emergency situation, but did not declare an emergency because he did not want to alert the press. And that's just one of the stories - there must be more like that, considering the advice that people give.
If I were a journalist on here I would either stand up and defend my profession, or quit.
