    Now that GOL is out of the picture, I can't wait to redeem my AA miles on a one-stop to Florianopolis! *fingers crossed*

    Just wait until there is a nonstop FLN-USA (I'd bet on MIA). Sometime in the next couple of years that might happen, although POA will probably begin well before FLN does.

    So... who is set to become the CEO of the new carrier..???? Will it be a LAN, TAM manager or an outsider...?

    The materials are 376 pages, plus an equivalent amount in various exhibits, all in a document called "Offer to Exchange each Common Share, Preferred Share and American Depository Share of TAM S.A. for 0.90 of a Common Share of LAN AIRLINES, S.A.

    My fragile little mind doesn't have the time nor capacity to read same.
