So, if I don't misunderstand what 123 is saying, this was an accident waiting to happen? If since 2001, when LAB was privatized, everything had been more normal or different, LAB would not have had this problems now right? Now, I've got a few LAB inflight magazines called PaLABras, and in the classi...

Jump to postOhh no! So the rumours were true! LAB has got deep financial troubles! Anyway they can appeal to this decision and continue operating their 767's?

Jump to postWelcome GOL Mexico! If they do things right, they surely can take advantage on the mexican market. And it just hit me!

Hi all! First of all I'd like to say that as always my intention isn't based on an A&B fight over who's best.
