Caracas

Are we still flying to Caracas?

Anyone of our crews with anything to report?

Looks messy on the news. Hope the wack-jobs don't get a hold of the Russian weapons inventory, to include the MANPADS.

We still fly it but no longer layover there. Planned stop in AUA for a crew change. IAH-AUA (layover) AUA-CCS-IAH

Even that's too much. We shouldn't touch down there at all. They could still impound the plane and take the crew into custody.

But Bernie said that the socialist policies of Venezuela have been a great success. What gives?

Didn't their government just "nationalize" (seize) the GM plant? Not good. As Airhoss said, a perfect example of how socialism really works, not the romantic idea of how it was supposed to work. We've got no business putting our crews and equipment at risk down there.

I'm sure you'll be perfectly safe there comrade. Just let the death squad know that you're a fan of Marxism and not a capitalist pig.

Ha!

Thankfully da Bus doesn't venture anywhere close to there, so I'm good.

The whack jobs are the ones in charge, more of that "democratic socialism".

Hope we see them storm the palace gates and line up the Maduro leftists in front of the wall.
