Appalling Thread

Mods - is it not high time this thread (and it's appalling title!) was moved to Jet Blast or even locked. After all, 59 posts and the main contestants are still deeply entrenched and will clearly never see eye-to-eye on the subject of journalistic accuracy

Wise people once sang:

We All Know That People Are The Same Where Ever We Go
There Is Good And Bad In Ev'ryone,
We Learn To Live, We Learn To Give
Each Other What We Need To Survive Together Alive.

Jacko get real please! My post simply demonstrated that even when it matters most there are some, maybe only one, journo that won't play by the rules (and in the case I mention could have blown the whole operation and cost a lot of lives), it happened then and still happens now.

See also my post #54 in "Stewardess demoted to F/O" in the R&N forum.

Of the many things to understand in this life, I know something about only 3 (Aircraft, motorcycles, physics). Every time one of these is mentioned in the press they get it wrong. Why should I assume that they get it right when he's writing about something I don't know about?

After an excellent landing you can use the airplane again!
