Can anyone help me in what the major points of the US-Brazil bilateral aviation agreement are, and where I can find the particulars?
I know it is fairly restrictive, but I was curious what the exact structure was, how many frequencies, and how it is decided who can fly where?

104 weekly flights for each country's carriers, which are currently used as follows:
AA: 53x
CO: 14x
DL: 21x
UA: 14x
JJ: 35x
There are also exemptions beyond the bilateral. AA and DL both have exemptions that allow them to operate additional flights during peak periods, but they have to re-apply every season for them. This year, AA has five additional frequencies, and DL has four. There are actually two US-carrier frequencies that are unused, believe it or not.

Does the bilateral also stipulate which cities in each country can be served?
