For those who don't speak Spanish, the BsAs Herald had this:

The workers of endangered private airline LAPA yesterday held a series of protests around the city to demand the government’s and the current presidential candidates’ intervention in the financial crisis which has put the company on the brink of collapse. Early yesterday, the workers occupied the Jorge Newbery city airport’s runway (photo), interrupting operations for 20 minutes. Afterwards, they blocked the Costanera Avenue opposite the airport and then staged a protest outside América television channel where government-backed presidential candidate Néstor Kirchner was participating in a programme. They later staged a demonstration outside the Labour Ministry where a meeting between the company’s owners and union members was being held. The meeting produced no results and will continue today, sources said. Kirchner meanwhile said that the workers of LAPA “cannot be victims of business oblivion.”

BTW, if you want to see a real classy airline, try flying LADE!
