Relevant line in my post (bottom) on page one:

And the escorting was also confirmed by the airline:
Airline spokesman John McDonald said the incident is under investigation. He said "the fact that [Wells] was escorted off the property had nothing to do with safety," but declined to elaborate. Ray speculated the airline did not want Wells to tell the replacement crew of the problems she had with the aircraft.
(Thats in the second link of the first post.)
In fact this is even worse than everything else, NOT to have the crew tell the next crew about the defects. WTF? They should fire whoever is responsible for that and make sure he/she is not able to work in aviation again (Station Manager? Chief Pilot? Who does decide these things in US Air?)(yes, I read the speculation bit...)
