Sorry...I should have clarified my previous post....what I meant was it may be an excuse to shed more QAL crew (not the airline itself).
Speculation is exactly that....expressing an opinion on incomplete evidence. This is a forum for news and rumour....not CCN. I think I have the freedom to express speculation on this forum....within the rules of pprune.
I 'speculate' that this thread may have a short life......given previous threads involving certain individuals have tended to degenerate into vitriol. Contrast this with my other thread on QD (which does not involve certain individuals) which is going on 9 pages strong.
