It sounds like a great step in the right direction, well done! We have some progress at last! And we can still negotiate for more overflight fees at anytime.
Yes, shut the dinosaur down, it's costing hundreds of millions in subsidies to keep open. Supply and demand dictates that if they close down some other airline would fill the void in quick time. The public will get better service to the out islands and USA. The ex-employees fro Bahamasair could be rehired by the new airlines, and the old airplanes sold. The less burden on all of us.
Thank you Sam Doncome, people need to hear the truth, and yes, these ships need to go away from the bahamas, they are the sort of parasites that kill their host!

So its plain that companies and private entities want to cash-in, but why-o-why can't we start thinking out of the box and realize that there are other ways to build after a disaster.
i.e. What about televising the reconstruction process? Along the lines of a Community Reality Show i.e. a real life ‘Truman show’ meets HGTV, after all HGTV is really one big building products advertisement.
The Bahamas MOT, or any other entity like the University of the Bahamas for e.g. could take the helm and do an Eco Home Design Competition on a networked televised show, focusing on rebuilding after natural disasters, and building ‘Super Homes’ that in turn create Super Communities to protect against future catastrophic natural disasters. Manned by students and or working vacation/volunteers and funded by companies that market on HGTV Home Depot, Lowes, Kohler, Pella windows, roofing, solar, flooring, prefab house companies etc… the list is limitless! Invite media, universities, architects, designers from around the world etc. to submit ingenious Hurricane resistant housing ideas, give them time to submit an idea and maximum of 18 months to complete the home. It could even be an ongoing thing that is open to yearly submissions forever! As it is also a tourism / vacation opportunity for the foreign contestants. It could even be livestreamed and maybe in real-time on the internet (Bets could be placed?) or just sold as a series to a network or Netflix for e.g. Grand designs (Syndicated usa, nz, uk, Australia) and Fixer Uppers Chip & Joanna Gains - just two people & they created an empire so imagine the spin off from a whole Town of people! Why televised? Well, because disaster reconstruction is always done in a vacuum i.e. Haiti where did the money go, why is there no real time documentaries showing what was done (or not done) there? Rebuilding disaster resistant homes will be of great interest to anyone and everyone worldwide that lives in a disaster prone zones - flood, hurricane maybe even include earthquake zones too, that is millions of people. Much better and cheaper than paying P3 to rebuild and then we owe them millions forever emptying the Bahamas national kitty.
Also thank you to all the people and organisations who have donated out of the goodness of their hearts, the storm damaged areas need all the help they can get, and I totally respect and admire them all for doing so.
It is Your fault We are uninformed, you and other administrations intentionally keep the nation in the dark. We are not in your boys club, we need FOIA now!
What an arrogant man, the nerve!
Minnis Always comes across as arrogant and condescending, and from a man who can't even talk properly.
Minnis, if you can't do the job of keeping us Informed, just get a proper information officer, the ones you had are not cutting the mustard..
Lock him up, and the other dinosaur politicians that have been helping themselves to the country's national kitty. He is of no use to the future Bahamas, so people like him and of his ilk need to shut up, leave and never come back.
