    1. that's right friend, many reports are the same in pages that write about aviation, since it is there that is called Press Bulletin, that the airlines send massively to all the media and many of us end up sharing the content.

      1. Perfect, So don't say that the text is yours and cite the source like in all your "press releases.". Apart you are not sharing, you are changing some letters from the original.

        Greetings.
