i have to agree with "screwed bahamian". we have a party system. you were voted in under a particular party banner. if yiu want to switch, lets vote again. bye election. you shouldn't be allowed to take a vote intended to sipport one party and attach it as support for another that the voter never chose.
nothing surprising here. the company is bankrupt and there is no evidence after 52 years that offers any hope of something better. the only solution is to wind it up and let private interests provide the service as many do now and did before 1973.
i dont understand the reasoning behind suggestions of double dipping. a pension is paid for work and service previously given. salary is for work beimg done now. one has nothimg to do with the other..if we didn't have so many lousy workers, this wouldn't be necessary. Until that changes, this is necessary.
pt_90 its bigger than that.. electricity and water issues in Eleuthera, fire truck issues in Freeport, etc. broke gov't my friend, no matter what they say..
i agree with moncurcool. these power-hungry union bosses seem hell bent on slowly choking the life out of this country by endless demands and threats of economic dusruption. either way, the end result for the country will br the same.
it seems in this spat, the country lacks the will to see it through, so why not just have the Minister issue a declaration that the bahamas has determined our pilots do not need to know the rules? Every Act passed by parliament gives the Minister such power.
its a rare glimmer of hope to see the IT actually make an objective ruling rather than the usual pro-labour biased decisions. employees have to stop raping employers and understand there are limits.
if Donald J Trump decides that US will deport to last country of departure, it will happen or they can easily make life very difficult for most bahamians especially with an election on the horizon.. e.g withdraw preclearance or maybe stop Police certificate travel? lots of small things they can do before they go deeper.
