Marooned,
Don't believe every rumor you hear.
With families returning home for the summer, some guys have nothing else to do than spreading evil rumors.
You should know that after some recent incidents involving DECs, this will certainly NOT happen. Check the seniority list and you will see on average 1 or 2 DEC's PER MONTH.
as for the B777 delays : Good news. At least some of us get some more peak leave.
