Fred needs to shut up. When he was counsel to the GBPA, he should have been telling them to get investment. Why should the government do the job of the GBPA and direct the investor to Freeport, when Andros need to be developed?
How is it that certain people are always allowed a mic in front of them to comment? Are there not other people out there that we can let speak rather than the same ones over and over?
It is tragic and downright sinful and shameful that PWC recommends to increase ticket and baggage fees prices, and yet overlooks the most glaring recommendation, to decrease the bloated staff.
Didn't the same Director-general was about sprouting that bookings for the Bahamas was up and people were waiting for the borders to open to come to the Bahamas? Now the talk has changed and 70% waiting to travel late summer? Betcha the talk will change agin come late summer.
We need to change our mindset. It is time we stop depending and looking to government to do for us and start ding for ourselves. Then it will wake up politicians. Until then they will always believe they can throw scraps at Bahamians.
This article is all over the place. Where do you begin?
So The Director of Tourism is saying we will now spend money to quarantine people coming into the country from Caricom English places without a test? Are we that crazy? No test no entry. Period!!! But we are gonna spend money we don't have to quarantine them?
Article headline should be about 750 permanent jobs and not about 10,000 temporary construction jobs. Why d we boast about temporary things so much. It is time we stop settling for a piece of the pie and give people the ingredients to make their own pie.
*PwC, which found that Bahamasair had not increased its ticket prices for eight years, called for the airline to better align pricing with the cost of service on its domestic routes between Nassau and the Family Islands.*
In what world does PwC think this is true that Bahamasir has not raised ticket prices in 8 years. Maybe they living in an alternate reality.
And to top it off they want to raise baggage fees.
Maybe they just need to walk over to WesternAir and ask the owners there to give them a course on how to make an airline profitable without government subsidy. Maybe, they just need to SELL Bahamasair, cause it will never make a profit as a government run entity. Too many administrations use it as the cookie jar to hire their cronies for a vote.
Say what? The US wants to charge our airlines for flying in their own airspace and give us no money while they allow their airlines to fly free in our airspace. But when we wake up and no longer want to be slaves and take over our won airspace, they want to shake us down and have us give them a share of what we charge flights. Is this a mafia operation or what? Is this the slave master trying to keep us a slave or what?
