No he did not know what you said... You said “So now privileged information includes discussion if a SIB is on AFSAS yet?” Maybe you should have said: “So now privileged information includes discussion about whether or not an SIB is on AFSAS yet?” Sounds better that way
Here's a rundown on privileged information since you don't understand.
Not true.. speculation is not privileged. If I say “Hey, did you hear about the C-17 that flamed out? I think it was cause of [sic] al-Qaeda.” How did I violate privilege? I didn’t, I speculated on the cause.
Even if I say “the C-17 flamed out because it’s 4 Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 engines ingested more water than they could handle.” I would be stating a fact, not any privileged information. Violating privilege would be if I told you how the aircraft came to be in a situation to ingest that much water. Probably al-Qaeda though, or the Democrats.
No I don’t believe you, or your Chief of Safety. You might as well have posted that you read it on Wikipedia. The COS is a guy they threw in that position to await a SQ/CC position. He may or may not be safety trained. If you had said your Chief of Flight Safety said it I still would not believe you, because it is wrong, and a safety trained guy would never say that.
