I mean, this is a "Rumours & News" forum. I'm sure people would want to validate this one way or another themselves.
In any case, it's worth commenting on, true or not. A lot of people were skeptical when they first heard that Swissair may fold, I remember.
The Guv posts it, everyone can debate it. Isn't that what a forum is all about? If there were no posts like what the Guv is doing, then what is 'news'? What some pilot did for a joke a couple of weeks ago at a party?
