This thread has been going for so long, I cant remember if I've posted my 2 penneth or not!
As a 'Pilot' reader since 1977, I'm really quite peeved at the way a few journo's can totally screw things up.. Yes, James Gilbert had some pretty set ideas, but everyone liked them. The present team, in an obvious attempt to 'make their mark' have shown how little they know about the way other pilots think, which is a sure way to lose readers....As someone else said 'Flyer' and 'TP', both pretty awful magazines to start with, should have risen to 'Pilots' standards, not the other way...
My subscription runs out in April, and I'm definately not going to renew it as things are at the moment. If i was the editor or owner, I'd be reading these threads and getting ready to offer James Gilbert the helm again.
Any response from anyone at the Pilot offices? What happened to the Photographer chap at Seething who was involved - He seemed quite vocal about things to start but has gone very quiet of late....
