Yes a poorly written and probably inaccurate media leak is questionable at this time!
However, if these individuals have knowingly done the wrong thing then they are guilty of defrauding the Company and bring disrepute both to themselves and our profession. Actions then justifiably have consequences regardless of who you are or what you do. There should be one measuring stick in this whether pilot, cabin crew or a manager with his/her hand in the till, if this is the case!
Let the matter be investigated properly and let's not be too quick to defend or judge without knowing all the facts.
