Crosswind limits, I think you will find that your colleagues at other airlines, regardless of whether the rumour is true or not, will be thinking of you guys this evening. Many of those colleagues will have been through an airline/employer collapse before and will not wish this upon you. I don't believe rumours would be peddled on a corporate level either.
The fact that your flights are busy and you are working flat out does not necessarily mean anything. There is obviously something going on and I keep my fingers crossed.
