Looks like they changed their policy sudenly.
And their web site is made to show current info not just a sample. They can do what they want, but a simple info on a web page that it's not going to be up-to-date any longer would have helped. I'm just disapointed to be treated like that.
Thanks for your info

Let's face it, Flight lost touch with those who actually fly for a living years ago. It is the world's most boring magazine.
If Situations Vacant were removed it would be bankrupt in a month. As it is the 'bosses daughter' has to edit it as they can't afford anyone else.
It is pitched at the men in grey suits who they think might be interested in industry gossip that the rest of the industry knew weeks ago. And the Asian and American markets that they think might generate better profits than the flat European markets, who have long since become bored with the endless pandering to the above markets.
Sadly I'm even sad enough to subscribe to it, so I speak with weekly authority!

I suspect you'll find the reason may be due to the workload there at present.
The next issue should make obvious why some things might have slipped or been left alone for a few weeks.

I got my present job from a Flight advert. That was in the days when Flight International was essential reading for everyone in the industry except Astronauts. Mainly because the actual salaries were given in the adverts so you could compare them with your own. Now I read someone else's Flight every week because it isn't worth buying. After checking the jobs pages I always go straight to the... er, um, er, well I look at the pictures anyway. That last Missile Directory WAS rivetting reading wasn't it?

As a wannabe, I agree that Flight can be a terminally boring read except for the jobs at the back. However, I wonder what would the more experienced members of the industry deem to be the better read for someone such as myself. Is there another 'industry' mag that could fill me in any better ?

The owners of flight international have decided not to have a flight international website anymore as part of a cost cutting excersise.
They have come to the conclusion that people are reading the website for free rather than buy a magazine.
Finally 1+1=2 is reacing the .com publishing industry.

If Copenhagen is right its a sad day for 'Flight International'. It can not be an easy task to fill a 'weekly mag' with quality articles all the time. I hope they rethink and keep the web for instant news and produce a fatter quality mag (for those quiet moments down route).

I remember filling out a survey for them a year or so ago pretty much saying what everyone has said on this thread so far. Hasn't seemed to have made any difference as it's as dead a read now as it was then. As the rest have said; if it wasn't for the ads in the back...Anyway, I'm not renewing my subscription.

I too have subscribed for many years, but still like to look at their web site sometimes.
The magazine has certainly not been as good in recent years, if they are going to stop having the web site as well, maybe time to give them away.......

This may be (at least part of) what PPRuNe Towers was referring to.
