This was to be expected. The Government had been subsidizing LPIA for years; no one was accountable,it was poorly run and had fallen into disrepair.
The new managers have done a good job in upgrades, many of which should have been done with the money poured into it by past governments.
LPIA can't go to government anymore and it has to stand alone financially. We will all now have to pay for the waste of the last 40 years.
Many complained that Freeport Airport was too expensive, but it was not getting any money from government. Now we will see how the two airports really compare in cost to users.
You just don't get it. Attacking Minnis is not going to get the PLP re-elected but keeping Minnis Leader of the FNM will get the PLP re-elected.
It will not be the voter who re-elects the PLP rater than by the old die hard fossils of the FNM deciding that they would rather lose the election just so that they can make a point that they are in control of the FNM by keeping Minnis there.
I don't know anyone over 45 who has a good thing to say about Minnis. They all want him to resign.

Actually Minnis has forced the dinner.
If he had been performing as a viable Leader of the Opposition, this dinner would never have arisen.

Deddie, if Minnis remains leader the party gets no money for the election campaign. No money means PLP wins.
Whose side are you on?

The realists are making the point to Minnis. He has been and is not able to get the confidence of those who make political contributions.
If they had confidence in Minnis, the party would have no problem funding the convention.
For whatever reason, after over two years as Leader of the Opposition, Minnis has not gained the confidence of those who matter. It is that simple.

I stand corrected Deddie. I meant to say the I didn't know anyone under 45 who had a good thing to say about Minnis.
It is commendable that he became a doctor but that does not mean that he is a leader.
