Aussie Journalists - "sensationally" the best on the planet
Most of these procedures, like the rules of the air, have their origins in the maritime world. The term 'pleasure craft' is just another description for a 'boat'!

I must say that the thread starter has written a Classic piece to describe how our so called " journalists " especially our Top of the Mob "GT" write about things Aviation.
Well written indeed and very funny.

Must admit to rolling my eyes at that one but afterwards reluctantly conceding that your average Journo, who would never let the facts get in the way of a good story, would most likely reach that decision.
And only because they simply do not know any better, other than to make it up as they go along.

The aircraft in the Qantas MAYDAY incident was described by one TV reporter as having made "an incredibly safe landing."
Having said that, I emailed the Qantas Webmaster a few years back because they had a 737 labeled as a 767 on their 'images' section. It took 3-4 emails to explain to the drone at the other end what the difference was between a 737 and a 767.
True, I've been around the industry for a long time and have a very good memory for detail and a lot of AA's articles now have errors that any aviation enthusiast or long-termer would spot straight away. Like the rest of the media, they can't even show a pic of the correct aircraft half the time in their articles. I mean, if they're an AVIATION publication that specialises in Australian industry, it says something if they're writing an article about a 737 and can't even be bothered enough to show a pic of the aeroplane, instead any stock photo of an A380 or worse, a 767, will suffice.
