I used to be an avid reader during the 90 s even had a subscription.
The magazine became more and more a QF magazine even though there were 2 airlines plying the sky's.
When the Concorde crashed in Paris there was extensive and professional coverage. Not long after QF1 overran in Bangkok a very close call and it received scant coverage.
It was then that I realised like the famous WA aviation reporter, upgrades free travel and lounge passes are more important than professional journalism.
I wrote to the editor and withdrew my subscription. They published my letter but it seems over a decade later nothing has changed.
