What’s wrong with helping a reporter who is up front with who he is, who he works for, and what he’s writing about? If you don’t think the quality of reporting is up to par then help a guy who is reaching out for info.
Reporters work for people too and have to put out a certain amount of material working on deadlines, so I’m sure a lot of them get frustrated too not being able to do the quality of work they’d like either.
There’s crappy people in every profession, but quit being petty and help this issue get the attention it needs. Someone needs to make it clear it’s not just an A320 problem. I Think ALPA has been pretty quiet on the fume issues
