If a reporter, investigative, etc. You should disclose. Personally would be suspicious of providing info and wacked in the press. Press doesn't like us to much. Anonymous promises are pretty weak unfortunately.
Also, ATC treats us very professionally and complies with the request from the pilots complying with all due regulations.
Actually line pilot first and writer second. I don't 'journal'. And for me it is a cockpit, not a flight deck to show how long I have been aviating.
It is not a matter of being treated professionally by ATC but I had not read or known of a flight being declared an 'emergency fuel' by a controller until I read through some of the ARSs.
And if I add my name or the magazine to the post, does that validate anything? At this point, let me say it is a known publication and I would not besmirch its reputation with a slam or goofy story.
