Unbelievable! Nine-hundred passengers were literally held hostage by Intercargo union workers during a protest at Jorge Newbery and Ezeiza airports. I’m not kidding. They were not allowed to get off six Aerolíneas planes. Moreover, hundreds of flights were delayed or cancelled. Are we at the mercy of these bullies? Can they do whatever they want? Furthermore, don’t these gangsters realise that such methods not only harm the average citizen who needs to travel, but also damage their already lousy reputation? What if one of those passengers died on board due to the stressful situation? Who would be held responsible? Will Intercargo be punished for this inexcusable crime? Or are Argentine airports “zona liberada”? I wonder…
