It was a nice airline, member of one world, I flew many times with them their fleet was nice and the service good. Lots of other central American country depend on their service. There are really few god airlines that operate in central America, Mexicana was one of them the other is Copa.

The airline has nothing to do with the fact that they only hire Mexicans, it`s a govt law.Btw Jet Blue an US company! operates an airline in Brazil and they don`t hire americans...

Mexicana was the first airline to operate in Latin america or something like that!.. they have been around for over 90 years!..
And its craizy!!! 110 planes.. And yeah Mexicana was a Good airline by all means, operating Good airplanes, with good staff, good amenities, friendly people, and an overall excelent operation..
Their management was not...

110 airplanes.. G.... Talk about oversaturating the market with job less pilots..

ooh! but Mexicana ceased ops... but the word is not forever!.. Mexican its to big of a company and there are too many interests inbetween just to close it like that..
There are gonna be some bussiness meetings held tomorrow to decide how to try to restart the operation.. and hopefully it will start.

mexicana ceasing ops the mexican equivalent of American Airlines Ceasing ops all of the sudden...

Trust me, somebody will pick up the slack. It's how a market economy works...Who that will be, only time will tell.

BTW The too big to fail myth is bull, try not too sound too much like Chris Dodd or Hank Paulson. Pan Am failed. Eastern failed. The Soviet Union failed. The Roman Empire failed. Moral of the story, NOTHING is too big to fail. End of rant.

Either Aeromexico, or you can borrow our C150, which is based in New Mexico, which some call center reps based in Bangalore have insisted is part of Mexico :D. Before anyone calls FSDO on me, I am joking. No drug running takes place in my 150, not enough useful load;)

Is it just me or is this is a weird scenario in which somebody is going to smuggle drugs but doesn't want to break the law by exceeding the certificated gross weight of the aircraft? :D
 
Sorry to hear that. My grandfather was one of the original pilots when they started up business (yes, he would have been EXTREMELY old now had he not died of natural causes in '66). Flew the first revenue flight from Guadalajara to the US if I remember the story correctly. Most of his logbook entries (and personal pictures from the era) showed him flying to and from Tampico however. And yes, I guess they were hiring Americans at the time :) I think Charles Lindbergh made their first flight from Mexico City to the US actually.
 
Very sad to see another large carrier go down taking so many careers with it. I wish the employees the best of luck.

JetBlue does not run or own Azul. After David Neeleman left, he went there and formed it himself. He holds dual American-Brazilian citizenship, btw.

The appearance is that Azul is Brazilian, due to local laws that don`t allow foreign investors to enter the Brazilian market with more then 40% share (but they can still own the majority). Azul pilots are trained in Long Beach and the two first airplanes used by them are were from Jet Blue.

Not really, one law is designed to keep you safe the other is designed to lock up poor people.

And to keep their jobs where they belong, in Mexico. If they can't hire outside of their citizenship, why should we return the favor. I feel bad for their guys and gals, but they need to stay at home to find new jobs. Our market is bad enough. Be do not need to be flooded by their loss.

Then the same should apply for many other south-central American and Asian peoples flying/working in the US, In most of this places you can`t work as a pilot if foreign. Most of the south American countries require citizenship even to get a CPL, but in the US there are tons of them flying.
