The media choose to ignore us. Why? Because we wear overalls? Because they think we have no relation to Aircraft safety?
Not at all. The media isn't choosing to ignore you. It's more the other way around.
It's no good having a gripe on an anonymous forum about a confidential gripe in CHIRP. The media (and I'm not talking tabloid hacks here, who wouldn't know JAR145 from Jar-Jar Binks) becomes interested when they can pin down the airline name, and see genuine evidence of a safety problem.
If you want this to be taken seriously by the media, then provide the evidence and identify the guilty party. You don't have to give your name. Even in the age of email a brown envelope is normally well-received. The addresses of suitable publications are easily located (if you're in the UK you'll probably go for Flight International -- Quadrant House, Sutton, Surrey according to the inside cover).
If there's really a serious story there (and not just union-type bluster) I'm pretty sure it'll be followed up.
Otherwise, there's very little the media can do. "Unidentified airline breaking safety rules, says anonymous worker" is not a useful story. And even if the airline/operator is known, it's hardly going to tell some journo that it's overworking its engineers or overlooking safety issues, without being confronted by some pretty hard evidence.
