I'm a relative newcomer to Pilot - I have subscribed for 2 years and was an occasional reader prior to that. I have to confess that I haven't enjoyed the last few editions as much as I used to. A change of personnel didn't really show up on my radar, but that maybe does explain a few things. I have struggled to put my finger on exactly what has changed. My gut feeling is that it is lacking in strong opinions - the odd article or editorial that prompts a reaction, whether positive or negative. I read Flyer on an occasional basis and I think that it has the edge. Excellent articles from John Farley - which admittedly I've had trouble getting to grips with, but hey, I like to be challenged!
