Op-Ed: Responsible Journalism and the Air Crash Du Jour
As a 20-year veteran of the A320 cockpit for a major U.S. airline, including the last 15 in the Captain’s seat, I have cringed at the utter misrepresentation of aviation facts often disseminated by news outlets and their self-proclaimed “aviation experts” endlessly paraded across the TV screen during coverage of the latest air disaster. Coverage of the tragic crash of Germanwings 9525 has been no exception. (airwaysnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Don't mistake an endangered species with an oxymoron.
I can't remember the last time CNN, Fox News or <insert your target news co.> won a Pulitzer Prize.

It boggles my mind that nearly 112 years since the Wright brothers first took to the skies, the average person still knows very little about aviation.
Well, it is kinda like President Reagan said one time, "so much of what they know is wrong"
wow this pilots full of fluff, looks like a kid who never got noticed, geez people who may not know all the sysytems on an A320 - may also be capable of explaining aircraft and studying like you. This stroy has little to no real information -
exhale and go back to the stck ....

Are you familiar with Mr. Auxier's work? He has published a number of articles on a range of subjects.
Well now Scott, you aren't putting yourself in too favorable of a light; according to your profile, I hate to pull rank, but you carry a private rating and are up against an ATP veteran. I would say withhold your comments some and use the opportunity to learn or ask questions rather than be critical on the front end. That wins you no friends.
I agree with you - my point is not about experience yours or mine - Just the writing
some of these experts on the news are pilots - Like Les Abbend , I may not have any jet experienece or line of any kind but thats not my point - only the generral fluff of this article. I spend much more time in the back - unfortunatley :)

Well, your writing does leave a little to be desired and even here in your reply. I can't tell if you are down on the author of the article or CNN and their coverage. Think a little bit about what you are putting down in print. You may know perfectly well what you mean but you have to put it down with enough clarity that other folks will too. Hang in there. LOL. Watch real close on CNN. I think there are times that Les would just like to Bitch slap Richard Quest at times as he spouts some of his drivel.
i was in the air descending thru 100 i(internet cut off :) ) as a child of an English Professor its the only way left to rebel,
I am clearly the worse proof reader alive , " Just the writing ,.... some of these experts on the news ,,, )
