The only ones taking their eye off the ball are the people screaming about how they and their profession are so aggrieved and insulted because the new hire classes are *only* 90% white males and/or complaining about whatever the hell the fluff stories are on the FT front page that nobody reads.
Why is only one LEC pushing this information out? Why are they speaking in overly vague verbiage? This could be catastrophic or a complete nothing burger, like the 321 fleet that was
GROUNDED...because the no smoking lights couldn't be directly turned off, just like every other fleet, but somebody didn't send in a waiver to get that approved. Maybe I'm the crazy one, but I'm going to wait until I hear official details from official sources, but if folks want to panic over hype and rumors go for it.
