PLUNA in trouble?

Interesting read.

[oh yeah baby]

Another wise decision by Chorus management... But no worries they will get their bonus anyways...

The management thought it might be fun to gamble a little in a country/market they have probably never even been to, much less know anything about. Bravo.

Mostly because 15mil could never be invested back home in say....... perhaps acquiring oil sand charters. Perhaps leasing an aircraft that is actually adequate for the work.

South America (in general) is a not a stable place for investing, it is still run on corrupt and sketchy business models....yes, there are some places like Chile where it may be worth spending your dollar, but even there you have to know ins and outs of how the business works there and who you want on your side when dealing with bureaucratic governments...

just my 2 cents

You aren't suggesting that Canada is immune to corruption are you?

The worst corporate/government collusion I have ever witnessed is happening right here in Canada.

Violation of Labour law? Right here in Canada.

Selling of safety for profit? Right here in Canada.

Government manipulation of laws to help corporations achieve their "global" goals? Right here in Canada.

So everyone gets it .. understands it .. yet we stand divided, why?

I dunno. Ego? Vindictiveness?

With airlines turning more and more to cadet programs there needs to be a Global College, not just one in Canada. I doubt either will happen.

Canada's Chorus Aviation Inc holds a 33 percent stake in Leadgate but said last month the situation at Pluna was not affecting its current cash flow.
