I have always regarded GT as a fine aviation journalist and will go out of my way to read anything he has written.
Disagree whole heartedly, and the reason he gets hammered here is that he sucks up to the airlines for reasons only known to himself. (I could guess at what those reasons are however that would be speculation.)
I once heard him on ABC radio speaking as 'freelance aviation writer' about the Engineering standoff with QF and what he said was neither objective nor correct IMHO. He sounded like a spokesman for QF talking QF propaganda.
