Why should we give our magazines a break?
By now, it should be totally obvious to the editorial staff at Pilot that they are failing in a big way, yet Pilot contiues to be a very expensive publication for very little worthwhile content.
I accept that the majority of the photography is of an extremely high standard, but that's about all that is going for it at the moment.
The Pilot "team" seem to be oblivious to the fact that they are not producing the quality magazine that it used to be, and utimately, it is they who will lose when revenue drops, advertisers withdraw, and the publication becomes (if not already is) an "also ran".
Pilot has a great history, and would be a travisty if it radical action is not taken to rectify it's current problems and return to the high standards and respect it so recently commanded.
A very basic start would be if the people who produced it, stopped resting on their laurals and recognised their deficiancies.
