Dang you guys are brutal. Gonna break from the pack here and say this....
First, it's refreshing to see that even in these tough times in aviation, someone still is proud of what they do and thinks it's cool and fun. Though many are jaded after the years of BS, it's the main reason most of us got into this goat rope to begin with. You know it and so do I.
Second, have no idea why "Vogue" ended up being the magazine to print the story but, if he's freelancing his work, he may have sent it to several pubs and they're the one that picked it up.
Third, given that a "men's Vogue" would understandably struggle to convince anyone with much testosterone to dare pick one up, my guess is maybe they thought a "grittier" side of a "pretty boy" field like aviation might give em some sort of street cred.
That being said, my friend, if you've spent much time on this board, you'd soon realize that if you had written an article on how to cure baldness and cancer and it was published in the New England journal of medicine, as soon as it got in the hands of some of these cynics, you'd get hammerred by somebody for something you left out, or how if you like medicine so much why don't you leave aviation, asking you whether or not you PFT'd or why you're not ex-military?
I just just read the blurb on the link. Is it a little "braggy"? Sure, but most folks on the outside don't want to read about how you don't have a pension anymore, are tired of ancient flight attendants, and what your position is on age 60 or airline seniority list merger legislation is.
Congrats on getting it printed dude. Keep on writing. Maybe one day you'll make more money doing that, and you can REALLY do this job for fun!
Cheers.
