PBL,
You are right. It is something with our culture that you don't understand.
In our culture, when we want confirmation (or proof) of something someone saw on the press, we don't try to get answers from the people who saw the news. And we don't go to the TV station either. We go to whom gave the information.
If your contacts at Airbus can't (or won't) tell you what the hell is this "FW3", how do you expect that us, mere spectators, can?
If I can suggest, try to get in touch with someone at TAM. They operate 44 Airbuses and, with your academic tittles, I am sure that they will try to answer your question. You can say that you saw on the news and want to know more about this "FW3" software.
This is what I would do.
I believe when marciovp posts some news here, and even spend his time with translations, the idea is to inform.
As for me, you can get Brazilian newspapers in any big city around the World. Or try the Internet.
Oh, don't forget to call Lemurian to help you out with translations.
Regards,
Rob
