have to be concerned about the lack of specifics. i suspect, with all the add-ons contemplated, it is likely the average joe will see no measurable drop in his light bill. beside the legacy debt, infrastructural improvements required and not to mention multi-tens of millions of dollars to pay folks to leave, it seems a stretch that there could possibly be a drop....
i think it fair to say, he is probably not the only incompetent one flying around the Bahamas. problem is we won't know who the others are until we read about them too one day in the papers.... apparently, mostly good weather and sunny days are covering up for many of these deficient individuals.
this initiative will require money and skilled personnel, both of which are very much in short supply locally based on what we have read in the press after past incidents. seems to me, since most, if not all, of these pilots and aircraft are registered in the US, it would be far cheaper and much more effective to simply report these people to the FAA, who do not know them, and would have no reservations about revoking the pilot's licence and aircraft registrations as allowed by federal regulations...
the bazaar is truly a sad story. i knew Freeport in the glory days of the early 70s.. this place was like the 1st world and Kings Inn and Princess hotels nearby, it was something to feel good about.. too bad we hit the skids...
i'm with Butler on this one.. Bahamasair probably owes millions and what about the shop tenants, etc. no problem with chasing people who owe you money, just be fair and chase all and threaten all equally..
i remember when Obed won the title..great achievement but sadly not valued. the olympic folks got money and accolade after accolade, but nothing for Obed. i guess you need to be a politician. so sad..
Request promotions.. hmm, new one for me. i always thought promotions occurred when there existed a bonafide need and the individual is considered suitable. must be another one of those outrageous clauses that gov't and gov't corporation unions get. my god..
since we can go so long with just an actor in this position, suggests to me that there is good reason to question if we need such a position at all, especially since they say we are broke and the system seems to be functioning as it always has notwithstanding the current circumstances...
