Of course, since it is all rumors, who knows what is "fake news" and what is not...

I'm simply relating what he told me today. Who knows what is real and what is fake. Didn't we have a day or two a few years ago that said UA was on the cusp of buying A380's? I tried to search but didn't find it.

Thankfully my UA pilot friends and I agree that they know nothing more than internal rumors. Much like a college dorm, nobody will know until announced. That said, the AF rumor was one I didn't expect, so who knows.
