Post Ask the Pilot...

I stumbled across this interesting blog this morning by a man named Patrick Smith. There are some interesting articles and I've posted a link to his most recent one in which the author criticises NY Times writer, Malcolm Gladwell, for his inaccurate statements. Malcolm Gladwell has been doing the talkshow rounds in the US to promote his new book, by telling reporters that the number one factor in aviation accidents is the cultural background of the pilot.

That's the reason why pilot don't trust the media because the get there own little conclusion about how things work or how they appear to work and like president Bush once said "I believe what I believe, cuz what I believe is what I believe"
