Yes, but still a beneficial trip all around.... I think that you just pretended to be a confused patito....

What exactly have they added? I was there a month ago and it still looks the same as before with some minor cosmetic changes.

goin_south says on Mar 17, 2008, 17:19:

No; some of the 'wings'... of the terminal are all absolutely new.
Well... I can't imagine much change in a month... CG...
next time, open your eyes and look around... jjejje... kiddin..
No; there is LOTS OF CHANGE since June '06, in the physical structure and more to come, within this year... continuous upgrading...

BUT THE CONFUSION WITH THOSE CRAZED AERO-REPUBLIC personnel is still the same.
They need to DEMOLITION THE WORKING AGREEMENTS with Copa/Continental.. Those people never know where to tell you to go. The A.R. people tell ya to go to Copa and then you get down there and they tell you the opposite.

They have TOOOO MANY ... VERY YOUNG.... INEFFICIENT.... EMPLOYEES working behind the counters at A.R... and the 'flight attendants'... i.e... 'stewardesses'.. (that should awaken Saucey..jej).. are but... babes.... Morphus-style... barely out of high school.

y, un mil gracias.

It is not just a working agreement with Copa.

Copa now owns Aero Repúblico.

I didn't mean that I hadn't seen a change this last month. It's just that despite all the construction I've seen over the last year, I hadn't noticed any major, useful changes as of a month ago. I'll be back soon. I suppose I'll look around then.
