Notimex - Entrevistado luego de inaugurar la reunión de
secretarios de Trabajo de todo el país, consideró que ya se debe tener
un resultado que permita a todas las partes tomar decisiones para
resolver el problema de la aerolínea, "una empresa emblemática para el
país".
"Mientras más tiempo pasa, el activo de la empresa va disminuyendo, lo que va en perjuicio de los propios trabajadores de Mexicana", aseveró el titular de la Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS). Navarrete Prida dijo que ha hecho exhortos previos al Poder Judicial para resolver este caso, por lo que confió en que ya se dé "un resultado que permita a los trabajadores tener certeza" al respecto. | ||

Diamond heist exposes aviation security gap
by Aaron Karp February 20th, 2013
The movie-like heist of diamonds from the cargo hold of a
Helvetic Airways Fokker 100 preparing for takeoff at Brussels Airport
raises unsettling questions about airport security.
Detailed by The New York Times, the robbery exposed a clear vulnerability. One paragraph in the Times’ article in particular caught my attention:
“Jan Van Der Cruysse, a spokesman for the airport, insisted that security was entirely up to international standards, but ‘what we face is organized crime with methods and means not addressed in aviation security measures as we know them today.’ Precautions intended to combat would-be bombers and other threats, he added, could not prevent commando-style raids by heavily armed criminals. ‘This involves much more than an aviation security problem.’”
Airport security worldwide is largely focused on one goal above all others: stopping terrorists from blowing up a plane or commandeering an aircraft and using it as a weapon. That leaves a much lower level of security at other parts of the airport.
Remember the Moscow Domodedovo bombing two years ago, occurring in the international arrivals hall, just outside customs clearance, where crowds were gathered awaiting passengers who had claimed bags from flights arriving from around the world. Now this brazen robbery involving the breach of a perimeter fence, heavily-armed intruders moving in the airside area of the airport and an estimated $50 million worth of cargo swiped so quickly that authorities didn’t come close to catching the robbers at the crime scene.
Ironically, the passengers aboard the aircraft bound for Zurich had no idea what was going on. They had all presumably cleared a security checkpoint, had their luggage scanned and were sitting on an aircraft likely equipped with a locked cockpit door. The security system, insofar as preventing a terror attack on the aircraft or its passengers, had worked perfectly—even though it is unlikely the Fokker 100, being operated by Helvetic under a capacity purchase agreement with Swiss International Air Lines, was targeted for that kind of attack.
But it was targeted by an apparently sophisticated organized crime operation looking to steal millions of dollars worth of diamonds. Given the fact that such valuable jewels are flown between Brussels and Zurich regularly, this kind of threat would not seem to be a totally-unimagined one.
Threats to aircraft from bombs and hijackers certainly do exist, and should not be minimized given the horrific consequences of an airborne terror attack, but a vast global security apparatus is in place to prevent such attacks. Not so—certainly nowhere near the scale—when it comes to air cargo theft or other threats, such as bombings like the one in Moscow. These vulnerabilities could become more glaring over time, perhaps forcing authorities to take a more balanced approach to aviation security in the future.

De política y cosas peores
Catón
La verdad monda y lironda es que México no es un Estado de derecho. La
ley se desconoce, tanto en el sentido de ser incumplida como en el
sentido de ser ignorada. Los delincuentes desconocen la ley, vale decir
la violan, y los legisladores que desvirtúan la institución del amparo
al privar a este recurso del principio de generalidad que toda ley debe
tener, desconocen también el derecho, pues ignoran los principios en que
se ha de basar toda norma jurídica. En tiempos pasados -muy pasados- se
hablaba de "la majestad de la ley". Ante ella se inclinaban por igual
los legistas y los legos. En nuestro país tal prevalencia de la
legalidad no existe. La ley es letra muerta. Y sepultada, se podría
añadir, si no fuera por el tufo que su irregular elaboración y
aplicación despide permanentemente. Un país en que los legisladores
alteran la ley a su antojo, y los juzgadores la hacen como chicle para
favorecer a saqueadores y secuestradores, es un triste país. Triste país
es aquel donde una ralea de chómpiras puede ocupar con violencia una
institución de la Universidad, y no se les toca ni con el pétalo de una
rosa. Conclusión: un Estado que no es de derecho es un Estado chueco...
Y yo agregaría, en donde dos o tres personajes, ROBAN ,DEFRAUDAN y
desaparecen una empresa con más de 8500 trabajadores y luego de varias
denuncias judiciales, a estos no se le ha molestado, ya no digamos
enjuiciado.
Este es el estado de derecho en México.
Todo mundo apremia, pero ... hasta cuando la definición en cualquier sentido?
Lo dicho, primero habrá Papa que MXA

Apremia Navarrete a juez definición sobre concurso mercantil de Mexicana
Los trabajadores tienen un desgaste económico y bienes de la aerolínea se deprecian, dijo el secretario.
México, DF. El secretario de Trabajo, Alfonso Navarrete Prida hizo un
“respetuoso” exhorto a la juez del concurso mercantil de Mexicana de
Aviación, para que ya haya una definición clara para los trabajadores de
esta empresa, los cuales ya tienen un desgaste económico importante por
estar esperando a los grupos inversionistas que rescatarán al
aerolínea.
Apuntó que los trabajadores merecen tener una
definición en torno a este tema porque entre más pasa el tiempo más se
deprecian los bienes que aún quedan de Mexicana de Aviación.
