Insane decisions by our competitors

It is unusual, in fact rare, that a Flight publication would ever comment on our US counterpart but even from Hyperbola's rarified orbit the blogosphere is clearly glowing with rage at a recent decision by a management who you would have thought know better

Journalism is a unique business where some unique individuals can become as big as the stories they write. Downsizing is one thing but the letting go of certain writers, hugely high profile in the space industry with decades of experience and contacts throughout the likes of NASA, is surely a direct shot through your own print product's feet?

Whatever will they do next at McGraw-Hill, you have to wonder?

And you can't even mention this person's name or the publication they write for? You people are strange. Why bother posting this at all. Are we supposed to use a fortune teller to read your mind?

Silly brits. Can't state the obvious. Must be that wry humour.
