Our government should be ashamed for allowing the airspace over Brazil get in to this mess.
I heard a rumor saying some international airline pilots are being instructed by their Ops to fly on the "shoulder" of the airways when over Brazil's airspace.
Ok, Rob21. I agree with you.
But just to put some "pepper in the sauce", I would sugest you read the whole story of the Uberlingen collision back in 2002...
