Can't blame "James" for jumping from a freelance writer to a full time position, but I have to wonder why even the most recent contributors have stopped. Seems like FlyerTalk's COVID response where they got rid of all of the writers and replaced them with 1 person. Gotta save cash in COVID somehow!

Currently listed contributors:
Tiffany (only one active,and love her stuff)
Kate (permanently on the Canada beat)
Travis
Steph
Nick
Andrew
Mike
Ford (2 articles in 2020, after being dormant since 2017? Why come back like this?)

Prior Contributors, not on the current page (all have other gigs in the aviation blog/website/youtube world, which is why I'm guessing they were removed):
Spencer
Daniel
James
Ok, so your comment about people being fired or removed wasn't based on any information that anyone of color was fired, just that people used to write for the site and don't anymore? I'm just trying to understand what your point was.
