I, as a subscriber, did take part in the last reader response survey that Pilot ran, I made my views very clear at the time via the survey AND I subsequently wrote to the editorial team expressing the same opinions as I've already posted.
Guess what - no response whatsoever
.
Little wonder, that I, and many others have not renewed our subscriptions, despite the desperate attempts to woo us back by offering us prices that must be well below production costs.
James Gilbert and his team were far from perfect, but at least they were prepared to offer us something fresh and enlightening each month without necessarily agreeing with the content.
I stand by my original post, the magazine is very average these days, when it really should be (as it did for a long time) competing as number 2 to Flight International, but I somehow doubt that will happen under the current structure.
