Well, the way I see it, you're either extremely immature or an outsider troll looking for dirt. But if you are one of us, then nothing is stopping you from heading on upstairs and asking the individual yourself.

That's hardly fair.
How can we be immature if we have no idea what this is about?
Trolling? Nah, superfrozo had a go at trolling just because no one would say what happened, not the other way round.
Seriously whats the point in the Big R in PPRuNe if the only rumor we get is that there is a rumor, but we aren't allowed to know what it is? All that does is makes people intrigued, you can see that by the fact that this is 3 pages in and yet still no content.

I have no idea why so many of you are rushing to this managers defense. Despite what a good guy you think he may be, he will not hesitate to put your name down next to 48 others on a list if the higher ups ask him to do so.

He should get whatever is coming to him, no sympathy here.

Forget iCadet.
Imagine if the person involved was the same position just on the other fleet.

3 pages this would not be. Make it 30.

I must admit to considerable envy of, what appears to be a Management Pilot being fiercely protected by, er, Management. Us ordinary Bods would be left to flounder. Looks like the "Old Boy's " network , Freemasons, Privy Council , "waster" (in the Middle East) etc, etc, remain very much in charge. Boo hoo. Where do I join ? I mean, do I have to pay someone or is it an inheritance(kinda ) thing ?

Captn Kirk et al,

You're either not one of ours (so it's none of your business) or you're deaf and stupid. Cause everyone listening knows who it is.

Pretty easy to check flight crew list for 838 around the day in question... if you actually work for CX that is.

Truth and rumours!?

From my sources, and to paraphrase Mark Twain, GL's alleged crimes are grossly exaggerated!

I have heard from two second hand sources now - and neither come even close to the wonderful conjecture of the previous posts on this thread. So I will conclude by saying, rumour is far more interesting than the truth!

Numero Cruncher,

2 of my second hand connections confirmed the restraining device was used. Yeah, the rumor is way exaggerated.
