Frontline is authentic investigative journalism, and it can lead to action. I remember one story about six years ago about a wrongly convicted poor kid that resulted in such a deluge of mail (5000+ letters) that the case was reopened and overturned, solely because of a Frontline investigation.
I've been around a long time, but I know I still haven't seen it all and done it all, but I do know there are some 24 year old 121 captains out there who don't even know what they don't know. They can't; there is a certain level of awareness, vigilance, and discipline that can only come from decades of experience. This is not meant as a personal attack against any particular pilot, but it truly is all I can think about when I watch my family board a jet with a skipper who was born the year I learned how to fly.
Request anonymity, but please grow a spine and help this man develop a story that has a chance of improving this industry for everyone, especially the passengers who are at our mercy. If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
Fly safe.
