On this occasion, you have presented what comes across as a rumor; your source or sources may well be credible but if they aren't able to be open about who they are, how many they are or what gives them credibility, as a reader this doesn't give confidence in the accuracy of the information you present, particularly when someone who is credible and demonstrates why they are credible contradicts your rumor, as it appears does the airline themselves.You further harm your case when you claim the short distance of current 351 operations as 'evidence' to support your case, when this has been evidently the airlines plan since the order was announced. Now, of course your information may proove ultimately to be correct or you could have been played by someone overstating their own credibility to you

I mention the claims you make on your website earlier not to belittle what you do; indeed I've pointed out you do sometimes have some material of use within your site, but generally someone who overstates their credibility more generally means one has to add in a larger pinch of salt with subsequent claims; there is something to be said for bloggers who I know are extremely credible (knowing their background and CV) but are humble on their sites.

I for one am not asking you to apologies, but perhaps some humility that you are working on information received not first hand experience and that accept that you may well be wrong might make you come across as slightly more credible then you are currently appearing iIMHO.

Obvious YVMV and that's fine too, its your business at the end of the day and you own the risk of writing such an article.
