non-pilot speaking.
The report by the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6909629.stm on the statement by Brazilian President Lula da Silva has some gems in it.

"Its biggest problem today is the excessive concentration of flight to Congonhas," the president said.
It might make operating margins tight but that does not cause prangs.

The president also gave airlines 60 days to stop using the airport as a hub for connecting flights, and said the location for a new city airport would be chosen within 90 days.
Always good to have informed leadership. And I am mightily impressed that they can choose the best place for a new field in 90 days flat.

But it will be OK as long as no one listens to the politicians.
