suggest anyone wishing to comment on Venezuela should first read Eduardo Galeano's classic, "Open Veins of Latin America".
Sad to see this argument. As a pilot now retired for AA I used to fly into CCS and always enjoyed our layovers. This money problem with the V govt. reminds me of when, in a previous life, I flew for Braniff. The Argentine govt. wouldn't let Braniff take money out, so Braniff bought a huge amount of leather and made seats for our planes from it.
What the hell is wrong with AA. Here's a quote from their new president back in March. ""President (Barack) Obama, if this message reaches you, you should know that it would be the worst mistake of your life to sign the authorization of the assassination of President Nicolas Maduro," he said in a high-octane speech recalling his predecessor Hugo Chavez's spats with the United States. The people a re rioting because this guy's the same as Chavez. Oh well, enough politics, but just a reminder about govts.
AA slashed the price because nobody what's to go there. Kind of like "Rio"...you're flying into a corrupt country. Reminds me of going to Afghanistan for a golfing vacation. Which I didn't do. Good luck to "Rio" with the Olympics!
The Venezuelan government does not fulfill its commitments, it is logical that the airline will want to go to Venezuela, as they can not repatriate their dividends ..
Dear friends, I just want to tell you one thing, DON'T EVER let your people to fall apart from education. A non educated population choose the wrong government (most of the time, there are exceptions as usual). Keep fighting for good education, that's the true freedom.
