having this said, I am not against getting money from the Chinese. The questions are: what do we do with it, what is the ROI, how do we pay it back? What is the exit strategy? If we build the best schools in North America and we will produce Nobel price winners and athletes and inventors and scholars and successful business people, I am all for it. If we use it to continue paying people to do nothing, paving the streets for Miss Universe contests etc., then we will lose out.

makes me sad to see that the PM does not know that The Bahamas is not part of Central and Eastern Europe.

the P of Venezuela, Mr. Maduro, was cited to fly to China these days to report to his superiors in the Chinese Government. Watch the news, China will take over the Venezuelan oil industry and own the economic future of many generations of Venezuelans. I know, Venezuela is not the Bahamas it wont cost China 200 B USD to buy us, they buy us with their pocket change. Perry, is that what you want to happen to our grandchildren?

agreed. safety concerns, operating concerns, maintenance concern can be easily managed via a good agreement with the operators.

The point is that what the pilots did before Xmas was not a form of an industrial action, albeit they clearly had the intent to get higher compensations through their inactions. It was and believe me I have a hard time to agree with the DPM - corporate sabotage. it was childish, short sighted and legally questionable. exactly for that the pilots should be held accountable. That does not discharge the management of Bahamasair and does not make the political decisions around Bahamasair any better.

1 Million USD? 2 Million USD?

good there are so many unemployed US pilots that need flying big planes to keep their pilots' license.

or Ismael Lightbourne

and for robbing The People as well.

that's what we need more of!!
