All joking aside on my part for quoting lines from cheesy movies...these forums can take a serious turn from time to time. Wether or not ERJ Captain postings are accurate, the events of today clearly show that with the state of our industry and the high pressure goals we set for our ourselves we tend to be hair triggered for bad news.

I have always kinda suspected that the reason our seasoned compatriots in the left seat barely rasie an eyebrow to innuendo and rumor is that they have been through the rumor mill a hundred times or more and are pressed flat like dry cleaning.

Building one's blood pressure over the whims of HQ is a sure way to a quick medical out or worse...especially when it comes from unreliable sources.

Lesson learned...good luck and good night.
