I think people making stuff up on here, being unable to back it up with proof can make a big difference.
Imagine your bank,
Rumour, "a new investment at such a rate" is of interest.
Rumour " bank had bad investors and is going bust, no funds in it accounts" this would have a major detrimental effect as people are liking to avoid it, based on zero facts!!
Its employees would be very effected.
It's the same with an airline.
Back it up or shut up if it is of major standing.
A new route is of interest.
International companies being brought/sold/merged/bust need some substantiation.
It will have major effects on finance, suppliers and staff.
Least not sleepless nights
Suggest you all think hard before the next quip.
If your Gung Ho on here being anonymous, but think you have a point, then let's meet face to face !!
