Angry Thank you Iberia for destroying Aerolineas Argentinas

Thank you Iberia. Science Iberia take up Aerolineas Argentinas, Ladeco and Viasa in early 90s the only thing they do is Destroying Great Airlines. Ladeco has to be returned to the goverment, Viasa desapear and Aerolineas Argentinas is technicaly broken. AA was given to the Iberia, at that time State Owned, a company with 29 airplanes, 600 millions of actives (airplanes,simulators,etc) with profits of 60 millions a year and 10000 jobs. Look now, 10 years later the only thing that is left are more than 1000 millions pasives with only 40 millions of actives, 5000 jobs and the continous threat of desapear as Viasa. Spain still thinks they can do what they want in the ex-colonies. I dont Know what to think, or they are Stupid to direct an airline or they are just thieves. If latin americans lose patience and just asume they are thieves dont surprice ...

Mig21, in order to protect yourself from potentially serious legal consequences, you need to re-think VERY carefully the words which you originally wrote in this place (that I have since omitted). Expressing your anger and outrage at the Aerolineas Argentinas situation is perfectly acceptable. However, be careful about statements which could be (mis)construed as criminal threats.

Unhappy

I understand your frustrations...
Trying to get anything done here in Spain is like trying to teach an Orangutang to sing Don Giovanni by Mozart

If it is not siesta it is a holiday of some sort or a weekend... Oh my. What happened to the rule that you work as long as it takes to get the jobe done and then rest???
Figured out that I either go with the flow or collapse before I am 30...

mig21bis is right. It's no good blaming the Spaniards though. Nobody forced Menem and Cavallo to sell them a decently managed state owned company. They did it all by themselves. I wonder what could possibly have motivated them to do...

Well...you all know it must be the way Latin minds work (or don't!)...Politics and self-interests weigh more than national interests and social repercussions. Look at the way Mexican airlines have been mismanaged in what otherwise can be a wonderful captive market.
As far as letting Spaniards run things...well, we all look after ourselves, don't we?

Hi Mig nice talking to you mate.

Its a sorry state but everything that Iberia gets its hands on turns to a pile of crap!

Vis a vis my best mate in Benalmadena who was one of the most senior guys in Viva and ended up at the bottom of a rather long and nepotistic seniority list!

I'm sure whatever Iberia do with it will end in disaster, cos the cabin service is long and short haul!

Regards

Thumbs up

As directly affected by this in the past, agree with Mig21bis 100% ... Iberia has "the magic power" to turn into s**t whatever they touch....
