Because, 601, everyone is hearing rumours at the airport and reading the panic on PPRuNe and then spreading rumours at airports which are then amplified on PPRuNe.
If you sit down and read the regs, like Mainframe and Mach E have done, and think it through by applying your own expeience, you will find that it all makes sense (even if there is some bad news in it).
Congratulations to those who have done their homework, like good professional pilots, and are now spreading the good oil.
