Come on guys. We want the press on our side when the subject matter suits us & then bag them over any percieved slight! Sure the headline was misleading & overly dramatic, but that is what is used these days to hook the readers. The women's magazines have perfected the technique & my wife is always complaining that the cover bears no resemblance to the actual article.

This article portrayed the QF pilots as switched on professionals, noticing the other aircraft on TCAS & responding immediately to ATC instructions. I would have thought that that was exactly what we want with the current drive against offshoring, reduced training & reduced T & C's.
