The reason they keep going back to Peter Clark is that he is the only joker willing to put his name behind his commentary. I agree that many of his comments are later shown to be pretty wide of the mark. That's what you gelt when a ppl gives opinions on transport aircraft ops. I have a few mates in the media and they have asked me several times to comment on various issues but no way am I standing up and passing judgment on the six o'clock news. First of all I'd probably lose my job, and secondly get torn to pieces by the pilot fraternity. If someone has more courage than me, then pick up the phone, call the news desk and offer your opinion. Boom, you're an aviation commentator just like old pete.
