Biff and Evan...
You seem to know what has happened. Why don't you shed some light on our colleague that is obviously dealing with troubled times. This incident could happen to any of us, and so far i've only seen thread drifts and a debate on how professional the walk around is.
This is a rumor network. Please search the definition of rumor. Pilots Professional Factual Network (PPFANE) is still under construction.
Back to the thread... a ground dispatcher told me the same as midnight flier. Of course, he probably only heard what somebody told him who relied on what somebody told him, and so on.
I now see post 60, which states he's recovering slowly (which would be a better scenario).
If you know what happened, spill it, because a lot of us don't know.
All the best to everyone involved and wishing my colleague a speedy recovery.
