Thanks for the response. Appreciate the opinion. Didn't know that about Duque and the Lifemiles stuff. If he is criticizing them then it would imply that the ability to make a deal on a stimulus package (which has been rumored) might be hampered (although my Colombian wife says that bailouts are not very common in Colombia, especially to airlines...and there are plenty that will need it - Avianca of course, EasyFly, AirWingo, VivaAir, etc.)
