If I was there I would if I could promptly park my car and take my wheel lock, conch him in his head.

People like this always go after women and are so cowardly when a man is present.

Privatizing will not fix the airline, more stringent management will.

The only thing Privatization gets us is higher ticket prices and less family island flights.

Trying to focus on phasing out fossil fuel completely anytime in the near future is a foolish policy.

A mixed approach where we aren't overly reliant on either is the best approach. Considering weather and the expense of initial investment into the system require for EVs

Exactly, There has to be priority. North Eleuthera is still waiting.

I support unions and your sentiments but Government Institutions in this country are overloaded with useless workers who add nothing to a department's productivity.
Government offices have long been bloated and are treated as electoral rewards for political points. This strike was very much an example of how unions destroy the environment of professionalism and service. Bahamas air is on the cusp of better management only to be crashed by irresponsible activism.

Last minute strikes in a sector like this is very damaging.

Flyingfish says...

Last minute strikes which these union pull should definitely be illegal it cost their employers who give them jobs hundreds of thousand literally threatening the collapse of the airline, it permanently damages Bahamasair's reputation, and cost traveller's hundreds of dollars in losses.

It damages the entire countries reputation and hurts local hotels & workers. I don't think striking should be banned but you can't strike without warning. This was damaging to the entire country and quite selfish.

And who is going to take the resources to fly weekly to San Salvador, Acklins, Inagua, Abaco, Exuma, etc.

A state-owned Airline is essentially to national development and transportation. Nobody else is willing to do it and if so it will be at higher cost for Bahamians.

Things in this country got built by government organization or intervention. Mismanagement isn't an excuse to sell of our assets completely.

It'll be BPL 2.0

Selling out Bahamian entrepreneurs, vendors, and worker for "some jobs" and ever increasing profit for foreign corporations. Amazing

Flyingfish says...

Yep, this is it exactly. I was always instructed to never swim at night and come out of the water at dusk by my parents. Wouldn't dare stray from it now.

But some individuals seem like they lose all commonsense when it comes to the beauty.

Flyingfish says...

Privatization isn't going to fix the problems we have now, its just going to strip any funds the airline receives to make profit for a CEO.

Ticket pricing will rise and service won't improve. The reason Bahamasair is in the hole it is, Is lack of proper investment in critical areas and poor management. Making it private doesn't make these things magically happen.

We saw exactly with BTC and BPL that privatization isn't a fix-all answer, furthermore our country heavily relies on airfare for national development, a nationalized Bahamasair ensure Bahamians have a say in travel cross country instead of a big-boss even worse a foreign boss.
