COLOMBIA

June 04, 2007

This Travel Warning updates ongoing security concerns in Colombia and reminds American citizens of those concerns. This supersedes the Travel Warning issued January 18, 2006.

The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the dangers of travel to Colombia. Violence by narcoterrorist groups and other criminals continues to affect all parts of the country, urban and rural.

Violence has continued to decrease markedly in most urban areas, including Bogotá, Medellin, Barranquilla, and Cartagena. The level of violence in Cali, Buenaventura, and the surrounding areas remains high, largely as a result of the illicit drug trade. Many rural areas of Colombia remain extremely dangerous due to the presence of narcoterrorists and Colombian government operations against them.

Terrorist groups such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN), and other criminal organizations, continue to kidnap civilians for ransom or as political bargaining chips. No one can be considered immune from kidnapping on the basis of occupation, nationality, or other factors. The FARC have held three American official contractors hostage since February 2003. Although the U.S. government places the highest priority on the safe recovery of kidnapped Americans, it is U.S. policy not to make concessions to or strike deals with kidnappers. Consequently, the U.S. government’s ability to assist kidnapping victims is limited.

U.S. government officials and their families in Colombia are permitted to travel to major cities in the country, but only by air. They are not allowed to use inter- or intra-city bus transportation. They also are not permitted to travel by road outside of urban areas at night. All Americans in Colombia are urged to follow these precautions.

As the Department develops information on potential security threats to U.S. citizens overseas, it shares credible threats through its Consular Information Program documents, available on the Internet at http://travel.state.gov. U.S. citizens should consult warden messages for Colombia at http://bogota.usembassy.gov/wwwsc093.shtml, as well as the Department of State’s Consular Information Sheet for Colombia and Worldwide Caution Public Announcement at http://travel.state.gov. U.S. travelers can also get up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 in the U.S. or Canada or on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.

The bars and clubs are better in Bogota than Philly!

I would question that as well. I worked as a bartender in downtown philly for 13 years as I paid my flying dues. You need to come party with me.There are very few bartenders downtown whom I don't know. It also helps that I was born and raised in Belfast so I blended quite well into the philly bar scene. Philly is a fantastic city you just have to know where to go.

Very much is contingent on what American does by December 13. If they fail to fly their remaining slots then Spirit and Jetblue have a good chance on gaining those flights into Bogota. Right now, in its filing, Jetblue is looking to operate 7 flights a week to Bogota from both FLL and MCO sometime starting next Spring.

If you get Bogota, I bet your pilots will happily walk around town at night without fear. Why? Because most of your pilots live in Yonkers or Ozone Park, and you are "used to it." Good luck.

Most of our JFK based pilots live all over the United States, Herr General. But a stroll through Ozone park shouldn't be too harmful for your average wise guy.

Yes something about a Barrons article. Have not seen it but the idea is out there on Wall Street sooner than later.

The credit crunch is affecting the large M&A market right now. No money to play.

So the numbers were worked and the idea was put in storage for the "correct market conditions"

Watch Ichan. That guy is up to something.:erm:
