Ridiculous speculation is coming from some on here. Until you, and us, know the facts perhaps you would care to stop feeding the journos. Then maybe they won't print the rubbish that has already surfaced.
Given that poseurs are quickly called out as such on PPRuNe, but the press will devour as gospel anything they are told by said poseurs despite their being called out, do you doubt the journos will be fed?
The poseurs want to be listened to. This community knows enough to spot BS, so we don't listen. The press, on the other hand, doesn't care if it's BS as long as it sells papers. The poseurs talk, the press listens, everyone is satisfied and the facts become irrelevant.
