A310 capt,

By the brief profile that you described of yourself, along with your username, I am most certain you are an ex Varig pilot, who still hasn't got over the fact, that the current goverment rightfully refused to "bail out" the incomptently run airline. Your not alone, there are many "Varigans" out there with the same feelings.
Fact is (and you know it), never has aviation grown as much here in Brazil as it has in the last 5 years. We were seeing full employment for pilots, from under 1,000 hr newbies to direct entry captains, getting hired left and right on all major airlines here in BR. Corporate aviation has expanded like NEVER before. I'm sorry you missed the boat, but if you let your feelings subside and step down from the pedestal, you might just catch the next one, that will certainly soon arrive.
BTW, before you lay down your "perceptions" on aircraft accidents here in BR, you should at least check the FACTS. I can provide the link, but its not working at the time of this post, but please try it later.
