The whole airport was crowded, a lot of flights were +cancelled and there were just a minimum staff to help and recommend people to +get a train to their final destination. + +"Ok", we said, "we get the train but then give us our luggage". The staff just +replied: "No luggage, the system is overloaded. Fill this form and we'll send +your luggage home". + +Hell! We were at the airport, our luggage was lying there and we couldn't get +it! Also, sending the luggage back home was no deal. The companies didn't +realized that actually there were people travelling to and not just returning +from their trips. + +In short, we spent 15 days in an extreme european winter without luggage. +That's why we adopted the [Travel Lite Strategy](/travel/lite). + +It looks like in normal conditions everything works in Europe, while during +emergency situations people can't handle anything and start to mess things +around. In Brazil things looks quite the opposite: there aren't "normal" +conditions in the sense of everything working seamleslly. Everything always +looks like in a special conditions, but at least people can manage the +situation. + +So it looks like a symptom of the crisis and substantial cuts the airway +companies had in the past two years. They fired a big part of their staff, a +measure that save money without a "substantial" loss of quality in their +service (read: without reaching the consumer's claiming threshould) during +normal conditions. But a measure that definatelly has disastrous consequences +during emergencies. + +So, when travelling, always remember: companies are there for the sole purpose +of profit, they give a shit for you or for their staff. If they could they +would fire everybody, except you that is their source of wealth. -- cgit v1.2.3
