I have to say something in regards to the 'CP assaulting the bloke' theory. This is entirely untrue. The CP WOULD NEVER DO THIS. Let alone abuse anyone for this sought of thing. Yes he may have an opinion but as far as CP'S go Brindabella has one of the better ones. I would think that the pilot even after the incident would still say the same.
Taking into consideration that this is a rumour mill, when something like this arises I would think that it would be a good idea to get ones facts straight. Just because you heard it from someone or even from one of the accused/ defendents does not mean that what you heard was entirley true. Remember that you are talking about peoples' livelihoods, careers and futures.
Try and stick with the facts. If you don't know them then ask questions but don't make sweeping statements about the matter.
