Maybe the "smart" Yanks have to learn something from the "dumb" Africans


"SICK" can have different meanings, some with some real bad repercussions.

Good luck dealing with the ruthless money grabbing bean counters that force otherwise professional managers to behave as badly as they do

Did some research on this possible suicide and found this on Facebook. It is written in Portugese and translated by Google.

It seems the captain on this flight went to his manager two days before the fatal flight and asked to be replaced because he was not fit to fly. He had problems in the relationshipo with his wife. LAM refused to substitute the captain. His wife left him 15 days before the crash. The reason for not substitute is unclear because of not very good translation of Portugese language. Maybe someone can translate.


Mozambique, not so long ago.



Contrary to what some HR sitting in an office are capable of imagining (not very much ) "unfit to fly" can mean various things. Attempting to "punish" the only person who can decide whether an individual may not be fit to fly is CRIMINAL , and should be persued as such by ALPA.
