Sometime last year I heard there was going to be a significant revision of the timetable to improve flight coverage on certain countries that were deprived of useful flights.

May I inquire about the status of such project? I searched for MPTO and it only has the usual MPTO-KATL route (as the only route) :(

Did the project get scratched? sorry if I missed something, I had a lengthy absence due to some urgent personal circumstances. But I am back at the hangar doing some virtual a/c maintenance.

I don't know what the reasons are but that's true. I have sent several recommendations ever since I joined EHM but nothing happened.

Good pilots keep their number of landings equal to their number of takeoffs. Takeoffs are optional but landings are Mandatory.

Yes, something has to be done to make flying in latinamerica appealing. There is so much to see and yet only a few routes and most are very long haul :-(

Didimo/Hector,

I know you've both sent suggestions in the past, but the MT has gone through a huge change recently and those of us that remain are trying to get hold of the reins.

Can I ask/suggest you get your heads together and come up with a single suggestions document? State your case, define routes (etc) and I personally assure you that it will be implemented once we've discussed the workload involved. One thing I'll say for sure (to save you the job of thinking about it); we cannot at this time add a new hub.

Murray, I will be more than glad to do that. Don't worry, Atlanta is fine.
Didimo, let's get in touch. Are you in Panama? It is possible that on my way to Suriname next Monday I will stay 4 hours in Tocumen to catch the COPA flight to Port of Spain.

Good pilots keep their number of landings equal to their number of takeoffs. Takeoffs are optional but landings are Mandatory.

Yes I recall sending a list of suggested routes for Panama and Panama to surrounding countries. Will have to find some time for it (real life pressures...).

Murray no problem, a new hub would have been nice but Atlanta (even though it is kind of dead) does just fine provided one has routes that are not Atlanta-centric as it is now.

Hector, send me a PM to give you my email address, unfortunately we won't be able to meet at Tocumen (hum, Tocumen in Second Life? :-) because I am actually living in Europe.
