"Your words had the greatest

impact on me.

I didn't quiver, no,

my whole body was shaking.

I couldn't believe my ears.

You were talking to me.

If i had to choose among

the best moments of my life,

this would be one of them.

When fantasy meets reality,

it's normally disappointing.

But sometimes fantasy is

contained in a wish so strong...

that reality becomes fantastic.

That night, reality and fantasy

seemed to meld.

I decided we would live

in patagonia,

by a lake at the foot

of mount tronador.

Just you and me. Nothing would

get in the way of our happiness.

Despite my father's opposition,

whose parents had died

in a plane crash,

i had already decided

i'd become a pilot."

Let's go, let's go.

Let's go, 3, 1, 4, 2.

Let's go.

- Do i turn this off?

- Yes.

6, 2, 8, 8. 52.

- Sure you don't need help?

- I'm sure. Thank you.

What is it?

- Engine one failed.

- Restart it!

Restart it!

Dead, no reaction.

Sorry, i couldn't freeze it

on time.

Why was the only working

engine burned?

You didn't reduce thrust!

You must set maximum continuous

in the operating engine.

How many times do

i have to tell you?

Can we do it once more?

Ok... your turn now.

So, what happened?

What happened...

you saw what happened. I crashed.

That's what happened.

I'll go back to being a co-pilot.

The manuals are in english.

They throw them at you

and say "learn them".

That's all the ground school

you get.

I know they do that, but...

can't you study on your own?

Don't forget, i didn't go

to a bilingual school.

The mexicans get

translated manuals.

At aerolineas they get

english courses.

What can i do about this mess?

I can't set standards that

the company doesn't.

Hello, captain.

How are you?

I have an appointment with

the human resources dept.

Just a minute, please.

Are they there?

Three.

Yes.

"Dear madam, i'm writing to you...

because something unexpected ccurred,

and i would like you to know.

I guess i should introduce myself,

and i should start by telling

you my name.

But i won't...

he asked me if i wanted to leave

a number, i said yes.

Then i realized that it would

be hard to understand.

I said i'd write a letter instead.

That's what i'm doing.

It was the last day of school.

We talked the whole way

i hadn't slept much.

I had to do something

to cope with such joy.

You got off, and summer began.

3 months without you...

and the end of elementary school.

Summer wasn't a problem,

since i had waited for years.

What worried me was how we

would resume our conversations.

Because in high school

there was no school bus.

Walking up the tronador or by the lakes,

i planned the reunion.

My three main activities

were to plan,

think of you,

and love you madly.

After 3 months of planning,

i made my decision.

On the first day,

i'd go to the station,

wait for you and, using

all my charm, say:

Do you know what time it is?

Marcela, do you know

what time it is?

"I later knew that your parents

had sent you to another school.

This letter is a tribute

to my childhood...

to yours,

and to a one-sided romance."

- 3140, operations.

- Continue.

Adrian speaking.

If there's a fire alarm in the apu,

don't use the extinguisher,

it's probably a false alarm.

How do i know if

it's for real, or not?

Just don't use it in fl ight.

What if both generators faii

and i need to use it?

Or if it catches fire on ground,

what shall i do?

Operate with caution.

- I can't believe it.

- What are you going to do?

Have you heard the story of

the shepherd and the wolf?

Standard take-off, run-way three-one.

From zero to eighty knots,

we will abort by any alarm,

from eighty to v1...

only engine failure, aircraft

unsafe or unable to fly.

- 80.

- Crosscheck.

Positive climb, gear up.

316, direct to rosario.

Hello.

I'm marcela fabbri

from alya consulting...

we're here for an internal survey.

Let's see...

- roberto?

- Yes, here.

Hello.

Luciano...

viviana...

lucrecia...

i'm one short...

oh, the gentleman...

right... well... i need you...

to fill out these forms...

if you have any questions,

feel free to ask.

Please explain this to me.

I don't know.

I know as much as you do.

- Be careful with the cable.

- What a situation, right?

- I guess you got my letter?

- Of course.

The nicest letter

i've ever received.

- Really? You liked it?

- Yes, very much.

That you'd set eyes on me.

- I mean, when i was a kid.

- Well, i still do.

I swear... i was moved.

I couldn't stop reading it.

I loved it.

I'd love to keep talking,

but i have a meeting,

i have to go.

Well.

Bye.

Could we have lunch some day?

Sure! Yes! Bye.

Don't you like real food?

Yes, when i have the time.

Why are you always busy

at noon?

We usually have evaluation

meetings at 1:
30 p. m.

What do you evaluate?

The company's image.

You think they will

like what you don't?

I don't think they'll like it either.

Poor gonzalo.

That brazilian overdid it.

It wasn't so bad.

You saw it was no wind shear,

it was a simple failure.

A plane is one thing,

a simulator's another one.

Apu fire switch, pull and rotate.

Apu off.

Get the apu fire checklist.

Declare an emergency,

set the transponder to 7700.

And request clearance

to aeroparque.

Request all emergency services

upon arrival.

Now you've grounded

an aircraft.

We had to endorse all tickets

to other airlines.

Your joke cost us 25,000 dollars.

It was an apu fire!

I told you it was a false alarm.

A mess for no reason.

You're screwing us up.

You can't request fire services

for a false alarm!

Alarms call for execution

not discrimination.

Books are not reality.

This is a low-cost carrier in expansion

that needs a hand.

We're screwing it up.

I checked 100 technical reports.

In four months,

we've had 96 false alarms.

This is risky.

I'm serious.

Look, kid.

You need good judgment.

That's what makes a captain.

Do as everyone else does

or you'll have a hard time.

I won't say it again.

Hurry up, you have

the iguazu flight.

Hi.

Gonzalo with four stripes?

Is he flying as a captain?

He went with adrian to the simulator,

now he's a hot shot.

No log entries.

Write failures on a napkin...

and pass them on to maintenance.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Any problems?

- No, absolutely nothing.

Thank you.

Everything ok?

We have no apu. The gyro my side

doesn't work,

a pack's out of order

and both dmes are inoperative.

Does mel allow us

to fly like this?

Yes, but...

- before start, checklist.

- Will you fly like this?

Gordo... don't be a pain in the ass.

If it's legal, i fly,

...if not, i won't.

- I wouldn't.

I didn't ask you.

Before start, checklist!

Excuse me, captain.

Emergency exit lights.

- No smoking, fasten seat belts.

- On.

- Window heat.

- On.

And we requested this meeting

because we want to make it...

absolutely clear...

you have our full support

in this case.

Thank you very much.

In any case,
