Whilst I have no connections with Emerald (or any other airline, save for a couple of friends at a few) I think the header for this subject and comments like "rumours abound" in relation to any carrier can be very damaging, not to say distressing for all those that work there or have other connections.
Surely posters should be able to back up these "rumours" etc with some sort of evidence? After all if you print these rumours then be prepared to back them up or expect a letter from messers Sue, Grabbitt and Runn...
Whilst I accept that this is a rumours forum I feel there is a genuine need for posters to be fairly confident of their sources - its not always easy to retract after the damage has been caused.
