Default American pilots charged in Amazon jetliner crash

Which countries have you visited?

If Brazil wants to play in the world market they need to acknowledge
their short comings and get them fixed. The ATC system down there is to blame for
this crash, and ATC is run by their military, so it will be real
interesting to see if they ever admit guilt...


Their ATC system affects only flights in their airspace. The rest of
the world doesn't care. If it's an ATC problem and they don't fix it,
people might become more reluctant to travel by air in Brazil, but
that's it. And even that is unlikely to happen, because most people
don't follow or care about such things, and air travel is the only way
to get to a lot of places in Brazil (and the only way to get to many
more places in any reasonable time).
