Some general stuff starting to get thrown in some
specific threads.
Trying to start a general discussion thread.
This post seems like a good place to start.

1st rumor:
6 to 8 Business class seats in cabin to be announced in May
SJU will become a base. A220 FLL base in August annual bid.
SQ is weak in Dub AMS LGW, possibly will go away (yes I'm curious about this too since Dub and AMS is still fresh, maybe they meant seasonal? Idk)
Bos to grow the most in network over the next several years, Marty behind that.
Widebodies off the table as of now
B6 in 2 day long meeting this week with Airbus discussing the future of the XLR
2nd rumor:
"Had jojo on my flight. Said our guidance will be conservative throughout the year. The Board met yesterday with the 2 activist investors. One needs a little more help with understanding the business. They've been mostly quiet. Jojo and the squad are focused on reliability and improving the balance sheet. There will probably be another AA partnership. AA want it bad, and we can use their slots in LGA and even EWR to drive down cost for operations(in ewr).
We had significant gains in loyalty pax from NEA. Also will be making more personnel changes. Poached someone to work with Marty, announcement in a couple of weeks.
The draw downs were hard decisions, but we need the metal on more profitable markets to defend against Frontier (SJU) and Delta (BOS), so expect some responses there."
End of rumor
I guess we will see if some or most of these become true between May (investor day) and August (for bases). For A220 base in FLL, someone asked today in the pocket session about A220 RDU base and JW said no and A220 FLL is a much stronger possibility.
