A little close for comfort?

Was on a F100 of TAM on 2nd Aug from CGB to CGR (but didn't write down the reg - sorry). The in flight mag says 22 F100s in the fleet. Not all flights (10 sectors in all over 6 days) were on time resulting in impressive turn around and taxiing to the gate speeds; got heartily fed up with toasted cheese and ham sandwiches or French toast for breakfast but overall was impressed with TAM. Real red carpet rolled out at every arrival and Captain greets you by the mat. Safety briefing is a very smart animation video (think Wallace and Grommet type animation).
Missing Brazil already.
