Tell me about it!
We get calls at the mag all the time from mass media outlets wanting "expert" comment on what's happening. But often when we tell them that we don't believe it's systematic and that many of the occurances happen daily to most airlines around the world, they often don't want to go through with the interview or don't print what we've told them.
The main exception seems to be the ABC, both National and regional stations.
