Read the PLP constitution. First order of the day "remain in power".
They have always done that at any cost. They do not care about the people just keeping themselves in power. Davis waste of money is clear evidence of the PLP thought process for governing the country.
It is required by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization.
It sets bench mark standards that are designed to reduce the threat of a terrorist act, domestic or international.

No country would want their citizens flying in a country that does not practice these standards.

It requires that person to stand up like a real adult and make the complaint.
Too often we complain and say things about people, which we know about first hand but are to scared to make the complaint. When we fail to make the complaint the person gets away with whatever they did.
If you know an FNM who has wronged you then go and make the complaint.
Let's take the politics out of this and you will see that what Sir Frankie is saying makes sense.

Yes they know, but they want to see KPT working to fix the problem.
If they see him wasting time, on the PLP, it will leave them nervous that he is not up to the job of fixing the problem.
