Amy and I are currently stuck in San Jose indefinitely. Our flight to Peru has been canceled due to a strike of air traffic controllers throughout the country. Here is a very entertaining article I have translated to English (using a website which makes in funnier than a good translation)....
"Wednesdays 14 of November initiate strike Peruvian air controllers Economy - (10:35 hrs.) *
It is anticipated that the suspension of workings lasts 72 hours *
They demand a wage increase and they protest by the delay in the purchase of radars for the international airport of Lima The Financier in line Lima, 14 of November. -
The Peruvian air controllers today initiated a national strike of 72 hours in demand of a wage increase and against the delay in the purchase of radars for the international airport of Lima. The Secretary General of the Unified Union of Controller of Air traffic (Sucta), Wilber Ruiz, showed that about 750 workers will accept the measurement of force at national level. He added that several pilots have complained the lack of communication in the flights, when demanding to the Peruvian Government the quick acquisition of "communications equipment of end technology". Ruiz indicated: "the present radar does not work with efficiency, single is worked in a forty percent for the aerial flights". "
...... I hope they win.
No worries though, we'll find someway out of here, we'll give y'all updates when this is all over.
