Skitzoid, et al....
I used to be a David Learmount knocker...even called him David Learmouth, but have since modified my opinion, because he actually does know what he is talking about. i found out about his background and he is an ex RAF Transport Pilot turned Journo.
He therefore has a handle on the basics of how aircraft operate, and has been with FI since Captain Icarus was around, which fills in the blanks about airline operation. Yuo....he does OK for an Englishman. My opinion has been altered.
What would you prefer.?? A bog standard daily Bugle reporter giving the "Mayday, Mayday, i'm going to pancake on your number one runway" type of report.? I think the boy done good in retrospect. No doubt there are others who will howl abuse, but there you go.
