Legacy mid air

[LJ45]

If this is the thanks Brazil has for us buying their Crap, then I will never buy a Jungle jet!

Tell me this isn't a witch hunt!

As reported today in Newsday (NY):



a Brazilian newspaper reported that the air traffic controller who was monitoring the Embraer Legacy executive jet flown by Joseph Lepore of Bay Shore and Jan Paladino of Westhampton Beach was new in his position and was considered unqualified by his instructor.

Brazilian newspaper O Folha de San Paulo reported that the controller monitoring the Legacy on Sept. 29 was rushed into the position at the insistence of military officials, who run the control system, over the objection of his instructor. Other controllers told the paper that the controller had little hands-on experience after receiving his certification earlier this year because of a lack of controllers.

These men need to come home...NOW!

This may be the politically correct way for the Brazillians to let the Legacy crew go. Start with stories like this, it's not the controller's fault--he was rushed into the position.

The military won't take a hit, his instructor won't take a hit and the Legacy crew wasn't at fault.

Let's hope this runs its course and they get back home soon.TC

Joe and Jan have GOT to get out of that hole.
I wouldn't even classify Brazil as a 'Third World' country. Way further down the list.
