This article was written by a guy with a better way with words than some long time contributors to flying. Flying, like any other magazine, has a way of getting out of touch with what's really going on in aviation from time to time.

We've had engineers, surgeons and a 767 pilot that's part of the chosen generation. Martha is always entertaining to read because she's so full of life, but it's hard for me to relate to her.

Honestly, I'd like a regional pilot with a positive outlook on things to have a regular monthly column, and a salaried position with the magazine. I may not be as positive as this writer, but he's the face of what's really going on. I'd like to read more from this guy. Martha's breakthrough article was much the same, a contribution that recieved a lot of praise, and she was given a column shortly thereafter.

Maybe if we play advocate for this guy, he can get a column he deserves.
