If GSM s cabin crew are anything like ours then I would not put too much weight on what is said on "Galley FM". Kind of makes the Sunday Sport look like a factual newspaper. My flat mate works for this lot out of Manchester (base closure announced last month-- so not a happy bunny). He showed me an internal e-mail which says that this all centres on one engineering issue (not specified) on a sub contracted aircraft (an Icelandair 757) a couple of months ago. It also says that only 4% of flights are affected by the ETOPs suspension as most of the transatlatic stuff is operated by Neos. GLA - BOS and LPL - JFK are the two flights affected both operated by Globespan.These were due to cease at the end of Oct anyway (which can be verified by looking at their website).
