John, I have the details of similar situations that juju is speaking to. They are not Haitan either. Denied, files lost, etc.
The whole situation is disgraceful.
It is not just the US that looks at us as a backward nation.
I really think that by deliberatly holding women back that we are hurting the Country as a whole.

Well said. Right on target. No real economic benefit to Bahamians.

This outdated and ignorante attitude is a good part of why the economy is doing so badly. Massaive brain drain. I also have children who, though they love their country, have decided to work in countries where smart deicent people are wanted and apprciated.

The Minister is clearly afraid that the public might not see things the way the government does.

If the government has a clear, honest and legitamate claim, then what do they have to fear by releasing the report?

If evrything is so cut and dry, it will not affect the outcome.

So, you are only concerened about tourists lives, don't care about Bahamians.

My point is about the crime in our country and our need to fix it.

You duckin dealing with the problem.
Tal talking about education and that is correct. We have to get a handle on this.

Google the murder rates in other countries. E.G., the UK had 602 murders for aproxmately 60 million people. That's 1 murder per 100,000. At that rate we should have had just 4 murders last year.

Of course our murders are front page news. We have one of the highest murder rates in the world.

We need to be looking at the causes such as educaton, lack of parents taking responsibilty for raising their children, lack of job opportunities etc.

Great idea! BUT
That would require us to get together. Requires considerable capital.
We complain about foreigners who compete with us, but they can because they get together.
We spend our time crying poor mouth and pulling anyone down who tries to get ahead.
Makes one wonder what the true definition of being Bahamian is.

Has RCL completed all its negotiations with Freeport Harbour???????

Capt Aranha is correct. As usual, the government appointed clowns at Bahamasair don't have clue.

Anyone in the avaition business knows about these inspections, and have plenty of notice of when they will occur, several months if not a year out.

Looks like someone at Bahamasair ordered the delivery of aircraft to The Bahams without taking into account the ICAO inspection. Now they are trying to pin their incometence on others.

We the people (our vat, customs duty etc) are now paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a month for each aircraft that should be on international routs of 600 miles or more, not shorter flights. Indeed, the shorter flights increase the operating cost of this type of aircraft.

Congratulations!

Love Western Air. The most reliable airline in The Bahamas, or anywhere in the world for that matter, almost always on time, and often early.

Keep up the Good Work Ms. Rolle.
