The reality is that the Air Safety Inspectors are not doing their jobs. It may be that they are prevented by lack of funding or equipment (this minister does not have a very enviable record of getting things done) or are overridden (powers that be, ignoring the advice, and still issuing the License) when they do their job.
Let us see? Tribune reports on Bahamasair.... 1....wheel collapsed (later reported in aviation news that plane written off), 2....engine caught fire on a Miami route,.... 3....prop blade comes off on flight from Exuma.

If, and that is a big if, there really were 32,000 new jobs created
Number of new jobs required to keep up with population approximately 25,000. Real extra jobs created 7,000.
Reality is probably not more than one or two thousand new jobs. Never able to create the 10,000.
