@arerecich this is extremely impressive! Can we get a more detailed blog about the day's event?? How was the experience? How many people were on the plane? How were ATC communications? As a pilot, this is extremely interesting to me, I would love to chat about this if you have some time.
I don't understand how this technology is not more widespread. I've been following and expecting news from TaxiBot for a while hoping that they've expanded, this technology is genius and airlines should really invest in this technology because gas prices will rise again, unfortunately.
Your statement is somewhat controversial:
Venezuela (as used in the statement) is the government (who doesn't want to "pay up" because their inflation rates are higher than anything we know of anywhere else in the region)
They (as used in the statement) are the people who ARE indeed paying American Airlines
So the answer to your question is no, the people don't expect free service, they are paying for it, as indy2001 said, the innocent customer will suffer the most
