A few years a go ,maybe you were right with this statement , but they found large oil areas at the ocean near Santos and the costs rising like hell.almost the same than Sao Paulo.
Is not easy the way from Santos to Sao Paulo.
Generally ,in normal traffic condition's you will take 1hour 30min to arrive in Sao Paulo .on rush hour more than 2:30 ,and weekends and holidays some times more than 5 hours to ride 100km.

Not saying you're wrong, seems like you definitely know the situation down there, I'm just trying to figure out if something got lost in translation or if things are really that ridiculously overpriced.
Sorry,

The correct conversion is us$1,00 = R$1,75
But for me , the prices still are ridiculously overpriced, mostly due high taxes!

What would stop them from say:

Get in with Azul, build up to 1000 (if you have a degree) and move to the others?

How easy is it to move from Azul to TAM? Are there seniority rules in place based on hire date like in the US?

I`m also a dual-citizen, but not yet a pilot.

Thanks for any help!
