I think speculating that it was "the press" that started the "rumour" is just as bad as the story itself. Where it came from I know not. The Company is not in very good shape, we all know that for certain. Yes the aircraft are all nearly full, but how much have our "customers" (sic) paid for these seats. The number of bums on seats does not guarantee that the airline is making a profit.
I'm sure nobody want to see the Company go under, but these are bl*@dy difficult times for everybody - lets not forget it.
