Of course 2,3,4 and maybe 5 sides to this story---I always find the Brazilian people easy going and happy to be around.
I have had to bail a few Capt's out of trouble for "smarting off" to the Federal Policia....etc. Its a different game down there play nice!
Muito Bom!

And yes I take back the statement I made about him still being down there... thanks to all who clarified he made it home. I am glad he is back.

Knocked, introduced myself with my license and medical in hand.
He said, "You have a seat in the back?" I said yes. He then yelled, "Then what the **** are you doing up here?" I left and he came back to my seat and chewed my ass out some more saying he'd never seen someone who had a seat in the back come into the cockpit. It ruined my whole week. I couldn't stop thinking about what I did wrong. The flight attendants were really embarrassed and put me in first class.

It sounds like this clown is not a I had a bad day kinda guy which we can all relate too sounds like he is like that 24/7. Would have been nice to see him locked up for a while I have no sympathy for him.

Most of us are just reading the news reports and wondering what happened.

Let’s not be so quick to judge... and more importantly, to take a foreign government’s word against an American citizen without knowing all the facts.
