Calm down buddy.
I think it's blatantly obvious that the papers have got all their info from this very website! The BBC report even directly quotes it as opinions expressed on the pilots website PPRUNE. It's just a shame none of the others had the decency to do the same.
I'm pretty sure that no-one went running to any papers.
What it does highlight however is that every journo and news reporter, when looking for aviation related scoops, looks straight away to this site for his 'insider knowledge'. Maybe the point here is to be careful what you write on this site. It seems to me if this thread had never been started, then none of this would have ever come to light!
Doh.
