The NDA-limited poster has put their name and reputation on the line with the revelation that upcoming news is so bad that they are planning their exit from the company, and feels disloyal for not "spilling the beans" to the entire pilot group.
If nothing materializes, they will have lost credibility for "behind the scenes information". If something does materialize, I'll be surprised that it was not leaked. For now I maintain my belief that this is all standard rumor-mill / psychological warfare.
