Pilot
So Nik Nak - you are one of those immensely irritating people that have no shame in standing in front of the magazine displays spending - in my experience - a considerable time dog-earing the next bona-fide customers copy.
The audacity in complaining about something that you have no intention of buying - and have thus read at the publishers and bona-fide readers expense - is staggering.
Pilot - I suggest you 'bag' every issue.
This thread generally - and there are some notable exceptions - is, I suspect, being used as a forum by those with a hidden agenda.
Can I suggest that anybody slagging of Pilot -or any other magazine - declares an interest in doing so if that is the case?
All 3 make a great contribution. Aren't we lucky to have such a choice?
Do what I do and flick through a feature that doesn't appeal. We do it every day with newspapers?!
However, at least buy the ruddy thing before you feel qualified to comment.
As far as Dave Calderwood is concerned - why has his non ownership of an aircraft any bearing on his ability to do his job? He is a current, cautious pilot who flies as often as a man with a demanding job and a large family can.
He is as passionate about it as any pilot.
