I'd say its a combination of both. Another interesting thing she said was

“I wanted to get back in the cockpit flying before moving forward with anything,”

Sounds to me like Alaska was coming after her on a drug/alcohol investigation and she was more worried about that than anything else. Also explains why she seems to be more pizzed at Alaska than anyone else. While I agree AK will try and bury this, they may have no choice but to go public with some of the investigation to defend themselves as the me too gang is pushing a boycott of Alaska.
