Trying to book an online roundtrip flight to Exuma with Bahamasair since yesterday, and I keep getting this message:

"Error: Server Error

I guess I will be flying Western Air...

"Bahamasair, which was originally allocated a $19m subsidy, saw this figure quadruple to $78.2m for the 12 months to end-June 2021". OMG!

And to think if Bahamasair was in private hands it would cost nothing to the taxpayer, except a small subsidy for flying to the furthest outislands.

On Loss-making SOEs suck up near $118m

All countries that make it hard for employers to fire their staff have a high unemployment rate, as is already the case with the Bahamas. What you will see is that employers will hire mostly employees on short term contracts. Try getting a mortgage on a short term contract. This will further impoverish Bahamian society

Nobody will buy Atlantis with these conditions and nobody will build a new hotel. It's a global world and there are better choices for foreign investors..

There is no justification what so ever to pay union fees if you don't join a union.

"raising the redundancy cap to 24 months". This is ridiculous. I don't know of any other country where this exists. Nobody will want to start a new company or hire staff in this country and unemployment will explode. Nice program...
