I ask this myself... I had actually posted it in Rumour & News but it got moved to a rather quiet
forum .
Mexican (airline) politics can be bizzare at times. Officially MXA lays off many pilots (many of them former students of mine, too!) and cries about losses, but in one or two months they'll launch a charter 767 service to Latin America and Europe. Additionally, they boast of having the newest fleet, and are planning to phase out the F100 fleet starting next year and replace them with A319s. The "lucky" pilots that still got a job with MXA spread the rumour that Carlos Slim (Spelling?) - the owner of Telmex - secretly bought MXA
It may make sense because I noticed a lot of Telmex commercials on TV linked with MXA.
The biggest joke about Mexican airline politics was the suspention of Aerolineas Internacionales' operating certificate... but that is just another (sad) story from the people of the sun.
