What an
interesting thread about this chap!
He is a journalist trying to make a living just like the rest of us.
Many of us are just trying to make a living, I make mine by taking a lot of trouble to ensure I get detail correct, checking facts and researching to ensure that I am doing things correctly (I assume, like many people in their work). Because if I talk pish and cock things up I will rapidly run out of work.
I have been working in aviation for 15 years and I am no doubt deluding myself if I consider myself in the dizzy heights of a rank amateur, however I still find myself stunned when I listen to the drivel this man, and others speak which is presented as expert knowledge.
My complaint has been sent to the BBC for what it's worth.
However I have to echo what others have said, those who ARE expert in the industry need to put themselves in a position to be available for comment to better represent the industry and stop idiots speaking to the ignorant who in turn broadcast to those who are unaware.
