A pilot who knows her said he naturally heard about the situation and once he found out SHE was the Purser , he KNEW there was something wrong with the capt. That's the the general party line.
Would you, BoF, care to elaborate as to "the general party line" being within the crew regarded or within UAL as a whole? If the latter it would be of great interest to me if that could be substantiated by someone else in UAL, and preferably by someone not involved in this "incident", personally or otherwise.
