The International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations (IFALPA) says Brazilian authorities should drop their criminal probe into the deadly midair collision last September involving a pair of American pilots. The fatal accident involved a Gol Airlines Boeing 737-800 and an Embraer Legacy 600. All 154 aboard the airliner were killed, but the Legacy flight deck crew survived. IFALPA has a number of serious concerns with the government’s present actions. It opposes the indictment and possible criminal prosecution of the pilots of the Legacy aircraft and a number of air traffic controllers. It believes a legislative enquiry along with a federal police investigation running in parallel with the independent accident investigation obscures the benefits of a proper accident investigation.  IFALPA calls on the Brazilian Government to suspend the legislative inquiry and the Justice Ministry to adjourn criminal proceedings.
