so you figure if you can point to someone else doing it, that somehow nullifies the observations?

No lies told here. Examine every high profile political case, you will see, delay, obfuscate, distract, delay. Until the public moves on. Acceptance is the key word here.

when you see someone preface their comment with "LOL", then proceed to call the names of others from behind their own anonymous username, perhaps its best to leave them on read.... don't waste your reasoning on them.

This action by BANSA is truly unjustifiable, and senseless. It shows just how erratic (non-existent) Government policy is toward supporting, guarding and fanning the flame of the nascent Bahamian aviation industry, The only thing successive governments seem comfortable doing is continually propping up the rotted carcass coated in white paint that is Bahamasair. Year in, year out they pour thirty/forty/fifty/sixty million down the anemic entity's throat, oblivious to the continual state of struggle the few promising local aviation businesses exist in, devoid of any subsidy or any functional champion in the halls of government, they are left to fend for themselves... while mailboat subsidies increase.... local airlift is left as is to fend for itself... apparently only the bloated Bahamasair will ever bear fruit for local aviation, so instead of doing something that makes industry building sense, and diverting $30 million and sharing amongst the 4 local organizations that can legitimately grow, they're now discussing acquiring 10x $90 million aircraft for this decayed outfit to "operate". Now those of us without an axe to grind can concur with what this ex politician is saying, but we can't feign surprise. Bahamian government is more about appointing dancing court jesters to masquerade as role players, than it is interested in, or capable of, seriously setting about long term improvement. So yeah BANSA, Make them pay for fees y'all just made retroactive 5 years, why not ay? Dance on.

trust me, he won’t win Killarney again, very poor representation, as the ball joints on my vehicle, wanton ghetto signage, and dangerous roadside eateries attest to. Go somewhere else.

where did you read "discount"? It was a poorly worded statement "wiped away", but what I gathered was they "recovered" arrears, not forgave them.

shet your stoopid arse Birdman.... begone from here

you're talking like the typical crusty mothballed local politician... "National Development" its been supposedly engaged in that undertaking for fifty years. We have to wait til you dead to change this up? Shut the rotting carcass down and subsidize companies that meet a minimum criteria. You scorched records make me sick man.... ugh.

add to that 90% malaise and ineptitude. its the 1 in 30 that is keeping that outfit barely functional, the rest coast along on bloated butts exploiting the outfit for free travel and money for nothing, quite sickening. If they were sharp, self-motivated workers who performed regardless of circumstance, they would have my support, for whatever that would be worth... but they are sloppy, uninformed on industry norms, and a laughing stock in the industry, despite their self-sponsored "airline of the year " nonsense awards. Just a waste of my hard-earned tax dollars. Shut the tumorous outfit down finally, subsidize private companies with aptitude and watch the local aviation industry grow. The administration must gather the nerve to: shut. it. down.

that plane in the states mangle right up, dunno what they talkin bout 'waiting on manufacturer' - what a shtshow, just close it and subsidize private ops that actually have experience being accountable & productive with their money.
