The fact that you are prepared to post such vague rumours here, most of which are complete tosh, shows to me a good dose of either arrogance, ignorance or stupidity. Instead of listening to your K mates, of which the sideways-seating fraternity are willing the aircraft to fail, why don't you go over to the J side, talk to the guys and hear it from the horses' mouths - there are even plenty of trips if you so desire, but watch out - you might end up in AFG!
