Unfortunately, anyone with WordPress can call themselves an expert on a blog, and to the average reader, someone who has flown more than 2 different business class seats is one, relatively.
None of them can really write. Lucky's overuse of emphasis, quotation marks and hyperbole is atrocious, and the other three or four just write filler articles (some of their trip reports are interesting at least, but still poorly written). Such is life in the 21st century - create a blog, call yourself a writer, but you've never actually studied writing in any shape or form (outside of high school, perhaps).
