So, will the government finally use this opportunity to do what needs to be done, or will they kick the can down the road for another 5 years? Shut the airline down. Subsidize worthy local airlines for domestic routes, reopen the flag carrier for international flights only, homogeneous fleet, simplified route, supplement tourist travel ourselves as opposed to laying prostrate before Delta.
So how is it that the police can "decline to give details of the escape?" Will the details of their screwup affect some ongoing intelligence operation elsewhere? I think not. We are the public, they work FOR us, we pay their salaries, they are accountable to US.
Wow, an insightful, research and data driven article..... I could get used to this! no echoing of what "da Minister also said....". You know those people who wander outside giggling during the eye of the hurricane, against the advice of sober folk? They're the ones screaming for help once caught in the storm having strayed just a bit too far from home.....human nature spans a spectrum.
Bro talk what you know(or didn't) Emerg Order 2 was leaked 23rd march, flights continued unabated through Friday 27th.... check the flight records lest you feel misled. We had 2 WestJet options, elected to remain at Uni...anyone affected shouldv'e been hella engaged with breaking news , regional trends, and developments, stop defending lassitude.
The challenge is the majority of the population has eschewed even the most basic evaluation of the systems and challenges in their environment. Anything that involves taking up a book or even a monthly magazine on a topic is shunned. They feed on sensational talk, folly even. This is why there is no pressure for community involvement. Only the most base clamor for empty stomachs to be filled. Why isn't every Primary school child apprised of rights and duties under the law? Why does some policeman who barely escaped high school know more about the law after 6 weeks of "college" than the average citizen? The political aspirants want an easy road...
dude... your bleeding heart it could be you talks are baseless.... there is no obligation to bring people home, its a policy decision. On the one hand the populace sees the flag carrier as a millstone around the neck of the treasury, yet let a hurricane threaten Jamaica, ALL the Bahamian students expect to fly out via Bahamasair! Same thing now with COVID evac. But whats this now... yinna don't want to PAY for it! amazing. viewing cake and chomping on it. The government gave notice of border shutdown, you made your call, stop crying. My kid is abroad now because we factored in the closure advisory and decided to leave her in position. Would I indignantly approach my government to waive a token fee to get her home? Hell no, I hold MYSELF accountable for my choices.
Entitled people looking across the yard at what the neighbor got. If you have a better way of getting your kid home, do so, otherwise pay the damn $150.
