I was on 9W 31 KUL - MAA earlier today. I was generally chatting with the captain for a few minutes when he stepped out and asked him what is happening with Jet these days. He said that slots at MUC are being negotiated and it is likely that services from BOM and DEL will be announced soon. This probably fits into the *A rumour.

Frontline staff are usually no more knowledgeable about this kind of stuff than somebody who watches the news - it's more likely that somebody forwarded him that ToI article than he actually has some real info from management.

Crew rumors, whether galley talk or flight crew, are often great fun to listen to. But predictions about what management is going to do are often way off.

I concur - this is what reality ends up to be...
