You may remember a story about a collision between a private jet and an airliner over the Brazilian jungle: the little jet survived, the big one didn't. Well, the biz jet's pilots are going to be charged by the Brazilian feds. For another perspective on the story, exonerating the pilots, read this post by Joe Sharkey, who was a passenger on the smaller plane. (Filed here under the Military topic because Brazilian air traffic is run by their air force.)
And in what I regard as a deliberate tantrum being thrown as a warning
to Brazilian authorities not to even consider blaming Air Traffic
Control for its obvious derelictions in the Sept. 29 crash, controllers
have been staging work slowdowns that are snarling air travel
throughout Brazil. If you're planning a trip to Rio soon, my advice
would be: Hold off for a while, unless you like sleeping in airports.
