Depends which ones you're referring to.

SOME of the rumors on here have been started by devious individuals, just to see if their rumor will make it all the way back around to them.

OTOH, there is something to the whole "where there's smoke, there's fire." Several folks on this board seem to be pretty well connected, and it seems that most (not all) big announcements are led a little bit by chatter on the L & G thread.

In my unscientific observation, AE plans/dates/alignment discussions are the most accurate. Aircraft acquisitions/fleet plans tend to border more on the imaginative end of the spectrum. The accuracy of most other rumors (including hiring rumors) tend to fall somewhere in between. Of course there is a reason for this. AE's WILL happen will some regularity, allowing the rumor sources to appear a little more accurate, where if/when we actually take delivery of aircraft is anyone's guess.

Hope that helps, unless you were being rhetorical, in which case I just wasted 3 minutes of my time
