What ANAC just fined TAM for (interesting timing BTW, don't you think? ) is nothing more that happens to other big airlines from time to time. It just doesn't get to the news media. In Brazil currently anything even remotely linked to aviation gets on the front page and on prime time television, whether it's newsworthy or not. WHY? "It makes money, stupid".

I repeat what I have said before: TAM remains a safe airline and in six months time, even emotional Brazilians will be flying all over the place again.

LH knows that and that's why the answer to your question is NO.

Don't forget: Money makes the world go around, whether it's news or avation
