Good News on departure but.........................
The news that the pilots have been released is good ....very good.
The news that they have been charged criminally is bad ....very bad.
This should be a wake-up call to all pilots flying internationally especially those flying to/in Brazil.
Should we now expect that similar charges will be laid against the ATC folks on duty and the honchos who ran(or were supposed to run) the ATC organization, even at the very top??? I expect the answer is "no" because they are part of the military and exempt from civil prosecution(or something like that).
Good show Brasilia!
