I have been reading Patrick Smith's column on Salon.com for a while now and Im wondering if anyone else reads it? Hes an excellent writer, and the columns are always great. You have to pay to be a member but if you watch a short video you can get full access for a little bit. Its under the technology section.

I read them a few months ago and they were interesting. I'll have to try that short video you mentioned to get access.

Yes, I read it regularly and can only recommend it. Patrick Smith routinely uses airliners.net photos for illustration (fully credited, of course), so I wouldn´t be entirely surprised if he held an a.net membership as well...
Salon.com often has other interesting articles, too. And getting a "Day Pass" for 24-hour-access is quick and easy.

IIRC, he got a mighty bit flamed after he wrote about the stupidity of that Women's Wallstreet Journal writer who freaked out when she had to endure a flight with several Arab men and their McD's/BK/whatever bags aboard. I sent him some positive feedback via e-mail and got a very friendly "thanks a lot" response, quite a decent man.

There's a similar weekly article in USA Today called "Ask the Captain". Appears every Tuesday I believe. It's with Capt. Meryl Getline, who flies 772 for UA. She wrote a book (surprise) about her flying experiences and how she got to where she's at now, and has her own website (surprise) with pics. and other info.

i think Patrick Smith is an a-net member. He emailed me after i wrote the PEOPLExpress article for this website and told me about his book and stuff. I haven't read it yet, or his article. I think i tried to access it on salon.com but it said you needed to pay to read it (membership) so i haven't read it.
