What's the excuse when a pilot (me) works for a newspaper, the reporter
knows it, and they *still* get a flying-related story wrong? I pointed out
multiple errors in a story before it went to press. Did it make a
difference? Nope.

Because they insist on trying to convince us that they know all. We are the
Munchkins in the Land of Oz, and they are the Wizard. Hey, what's behind
that curtain? Nothing but hot air and over inflated egos. Now bring me
those slippers! Wait... you're the Wizard. Now bring me the broomstick of
the Wicked Witch!

The worst part is that people think because you're a pilot and work for the
newspaper, therefore it HAS to be correct, even though you didn't write it.
Or how crazy or foolish you end up looking because now you have to run
around to your pilot friends and others that ask about it correcting the
errors. Bummer.

What I really want to know is how satellites may interfere with an ILS (as
from the video). I've never heard of that before.
