.....great post 'lobe.
Liam Bartlett has hit the nail right on the proverbial.
He is an experienced Journo. Living in PER..... I use to listen to him on ABC radio -720 where he was much loved and rated #1 in mornings .......why ?,.....'cause he did exactly as he did in this article. Spoke the truth and stood up for what he believed and not bendover for his next upgrade.
Wake up......... we had one Fairfax ( SMH) journo who had the guts to tip the bucket on Dixon and his marauders during the APA bid / sham.
Name one other journo of late ( other than in Crikey.com) who are prepared to write anything other than "pap" about QF for fear of losing their freebies /upgrades during their family hol's.
Just a further thought.
Could it be the reason why people like Wod thought the article lame-be something to do with this being a "cabin crew-centric" type article and wo-forbid not paying due respect to the people who sit beyond THE DOOR.
