Comments for Chaos at Brazil's Airports Leads Lula to Call Emergency Late-Night Meeting at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Sun, 12 Oct 2008 12:16:43 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7634/1/#pc_5860 Can anybody contact President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and translate English for him. I've tried the ambassador here in the U.S. without success. The solution to the problem isn't even expensive. - Keith Peshak Wed, 06 Dec 2006 20:11:44 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7634/1/#pc_5855 I was also stranded and I noted yet again GOL was unprepared for the chaos and situation. It was easy for GOL to blame the controllers for this delays and cancellations, but GOL seems totally unprepared for these crises. They don't organize the lines well, never seem to have information, run away when the press and cameras show up, don't organize hotels nor food / water for those in line, etc. With the slow death of Varig, GOL has assumed the role of a pseudo-monopoly in Brazil, and while the the D'Oliveira family, owners of the company, enjoy record profits, their clients suffer unnecessarily, and their employees are undertrained for crises. A real shame. - Bob Wed, 06 Dec 2006 13:30:00 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7634/1/#pc_5854 DeGaulle said brazil wasn't a serious country. Quite a shame that so many people had to die to bring this situation to light, and the brazilian authorities, and many brazilian citizens, jumped quite quickly to make ridiculous statemnent, condemning the americans before an investigation was even done. I hope the american pilots sue the pants off the brazilian ATCS and those that jumped to baseless conclusions so quickly. Pathetic. - bo Wed, 06 Dec 2006 10:22:09 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7634/1/#pc_5849 Thank God, the American pilots are apparently free of doing anything wrong, othrwise the infrastructute failures in the ATC would go ignored, at least now hopefully the current publicity could result in the govt taking steps which can save Brasilian lives in the future if the public demands it. find the problem, fix the problem, keep monitoring it, do the right things so the lost lives were not lost in vain, that is waht a "seious" country does - alltheway Wed, 06 Dec 2006 07:14:57 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7634/1/#pc_5848 - Cindacta1 failed for the first time ? Strange ! - No even 1 Cindacta1 or other similar equipment ALREADY in reserve, with your so many airports and security air towers....in case of emergency ? Strange ! Can no one see the direct relation with the recent plane tragedy ? Brazilians Authorities also confirmed, that there is no blindspots in Brazil, statements known to be full of lies....as per the Brazilians ATCS !!!!!! Can no one really see that what is happening and revealed NOW is what the Wearing Pampers Minister Pires wanted to absolutely hide at whatever cost : the sad state of your Air Security in many ways ....that put millions and millions of passengers at risk, for years already in only an "APPARENT" Safety !!!!!! I have no doubt that far more is going to be discovered and revealed ! The plane crash tragedy investigations will finally reveal the whole truth. And the accusations against the US pilots were only to divert the attention of the sad reality. IT WAS A HUGE COVER UP SCAM FROM YOUR DEFENSE MINISTER to hide the state of your weak and failing air security : employees shortage, some inept employees, policies, budget austerity, equipments, country officially with no blindspots ! And the ATCs recent strikes are also a divertion of their own errors from 2 or more of their members, in the plane crash !!! THE HUGE AND TOTAL MESS THAT WANTED TO BE CONTINUALLY HIDDEN ON YOUR AIR SAFETY BY YOUR GOVERNMENT AND AGENCIES......STARTS TO FINALLY BE REVEALED !!!! - ch.c. Wed, 06 Dec 2006 06:39:54 +0100
