AB,
You are right. Things here are pretty much the same as they were before September 11th. VARIG had planned to cut 1700 jobs (10% of their employees) before the terrorist attack in the U.S. occured. Their international flights are full (brazilians are afraid of flying with other airlines).
Embraer is the only that felt the impact of what happened, because the airlines are cancelling their orders.
Well, that`s what I know.
