The El Deber article ("Una tragedia que se pudo evitar", https://social.shorthand.com/diarioe...se-pudo-evitar) contains the Flight Plan and a statement by ViroViro dispatcher Celia Castedo Monasterio. If Celia's account is accurate what comes across is a cavalier attitude on the part of Bolivian flight crews generally to the authority of despatch. Celia stated her concerns and instructed LaMia crew member Quispe to come back with a corrected flight plan when he returned in half an hour to get the met report. When he did return there was no change; Celia's report says:
A esta respuesta mostré mi molestia diciéndole referente a que muchas veces los despachadores no toman en serio nuestras observaciones
"To this reply I showed my annoyance, referring to the frequency with which crew filing flight plans fail to take our observations seriously."
