Friday will come and go with no announcement and there will be posts all over the internet asking what happened to the big announcement and bad news always comes on Fridays etc etc etc.

Nobody ever said there would be an announcement on Friday in the first place. This started out with one person posting that he heard from someone else that an announcement could possibly be made as soon as the 31st. From there people turned that one stupid comment into an announcement 100% for sure coming this Friday. This is how all these stupid rumours get started. Happens every few months because pilots are apparently awful at reading comprehension.
