About time IFALPA got to grips with the ridiculous nature of this 'keystone cops' Brazilian excuse for an investigation. Just reading the excuses put forward by the authorities in Brazil and the defense of their interpretation of the rules in the post above, we should be demanding that Brazil be blacklisted.
Just as we have done over the years where the aviation authorities were too ignorant and ineffective to get their airspace organised and made safer by upgrading equipment such as with Greece in the recent past, Brazil should be shamed by being awarded Black Star status. Until they get their ATC system and their ridiculous interpretations of Air Law sorted out, the flying public should be made aware of the deficiencies in Brazil and we as airline pilots who have to operate within and through their airspace should be demanding boycotts and avoidance.
The Brazilians obviously are proud of their aviation heritage but the time has come after reading the above translations of their various government organisations or lawmakers, to show them up for the buffoons that they appear to be. Boycott Brazil and their third world aviation infrastructure!
