I am a loyal Bahamasair customer and will continue as such. However, with the increased baggage fees, I hope that the airline will pay more attention and care to their baggage handling.

I traveled to Ft. Lauderdale via Bahamasair this past December. Upon collecting my suitcase from baggage claim, my hardshell suitcase was damaged beyond repair. Last month, I returned from Ft. Lauderdale via Bahamasair, and yet another suitcase was damaged, with a strong handle completely ripped off in transit.

Both suitcases were from reputable brands, very sturdy in construction and relatively new.

So, I implore Bahamasair to enforce better baggage handling measures to justify their increased baggage fees.

It has been six years since the passage of hurricane Dorian. Every month, GB Power issues a bill with a line item entitled 'Storm Recovery'. Such payments from every customer in the past six years, should go a long way in helping them to improve their cash flow.

Even if mask mandates end, I will still wear mine. Haven't had a cold or flu in the past two years since masking began. Traveled to the USA in December during the Omnicron surge and wore masks everywhere although Americans had ditched theirs. Returned home without any infections. I've gotten use to the 'protection' masks provide.

On the topic of red lights, there is a red light in Freeport on a major thoroughfare that sits one block north of the Police headquarters. Cars consistently run this red light, even whilst the Police may be sitting in traffic nearby. I have yet to see a Police car pursue an offender for running the red light at this intersection.

They maybe 'self-employed' but unfortunately many of them do not make a profit which is why their business go under after only a few months or years. 'Self-employed' sounds good but unless you are making money, it is only a hobby.

Exactly. That's why he didn't provide details of which sectors etc these new licensees are in. Like you said, "vendors" and numerous hair and beauty stores all selling the same things. The Port has yet to understand that when there is an increase in petty licenses such as these, it actually means that many are unemployed and are trying to earn a living by opening their own business. The reality is that after one or two years, few of these of these licensees actually remain in business. Those are the statistics the Port needs to provide to paint a true picture. Even more disheartening than their deceptiveness is their utter cluelessness of their deficiency.

Other countries require testing prior to entry, including the USA, but you are suggesting that we do away with all testing? Really?

I totally agree. There are many of us who were vaccinated in the initial roll-out and our sixth month since the second dose is now up. Rather than letting vaccines go to waste, it makes sense to offer them to those of us who want booster shots.

It's been six months since the 'initial' group of persons in the country received their second dose of AstraZeneca. Now that the demand has fallen, can the present vaccines on hand be offered as booster shots to those who've reached their sixth month mark before the vaccines expire?
