This one wasn't the reporters fault. The pilot brought it up, which was
extra stupid considering he was talking with someone that was obviously
already a little nervous about a single engine plane.

Yeah, I agree, he should know better - but then he is a doctor, what
can you expect!

I recently had some interaction with the local radio stations and the
thing we need to keep in mind is that the majority these reporters
are, for the most part, working for less than minimum wage... A 4
year university degree qualifies you to start out working for free as
an 'intern'... Then if you make full reporter status you will be paid
almost nothing... It is not attractive to the best and the
brightest...
