It’s been 8 days since Ms Casey disappeared and still the police say it’s too early in the investigation to suspect foul play?
Are these jokers speaking for the benefit of Davis&Co who have failed to police the corruption in the RBPF?
And how can Duncombe, etc be “confident about their product” when this gov’t cannot control the crime in the Bahamas?
These ‘isolated incidents’ are obviously not ‘addressed or investigated’ competently because the RBPF’s rate of case closure is abysmal that ‘settled’ could only be applied when some member of the public finds a body.
Justice doesn’t abide in the Bahamas.

Tally up the cost savings Fred!
Wasn’t that the reason the FNM sold it in the first place?
And what would have been the costs of parking and maintaining an aircraft for the last 40 year?
Don’t forget to add the ‘benefits’, ie the corruption inherent in those contracts!!

This is ridiculous, if they’re quoting 80% now, Bahamians will likely be cut out entirely.

The Chinese should absolutely not build this or any project that the Bahamas is on the hook for; this is another make work program for their massive amount of unemployed workers.
The Bahamas certainly fits that bill!

Besides this has ‘moldy white elephant’ written all over it! The Chinese will be pulling material from their warehouses full of crappy drywall and HVAC duct work known for absorbing moisture then oozing moldy black water within 60 days…

Ms Ferguson is lucky to be alive.
And the officer who shot her dog in such close proximity to her should be charged criminally starting with endangering her life.

The RBPF’s cavalier irresponsible attitude to their burden of responsibility as police officers and licensed firearms carriers is equaled only by their contempt for their fellow Bahamians.

This incident proves once again the inadequacies of the RBPF as any representative “law enforcement”. They remain a systemically criminal and corrupt organization answerable to no one.

When did the Bahamas become the undisputed leader in Caribbean tourism??
And with this bunch of corrupt clowns??
Now Chester if you keep dishing such humour you could kill in stand up!
Right now you’re just a sorry court jester…

If one visits www.caabahamas.com all the laws and regulations for aircraft and their operators in the Bahamas are spelled out in minute detail in extensive manuals available to download as one would expect from a licensing aviation authority.

In the case of the document referenced here ie. the 88 page syllabus or ‘Learning Objectives Air Law 010 (pub. Mar 2024) which according to folks like Paul Aranha head of Trans-Island and others:

“contains no details..only headline topics…would be better to have more materials..challenging for people to take the test having no idea what the test looks like” and the “problem is the guidance they are given..it’s overly vague”

Recently we’ve seen the more extreme actions some take to being called a liar in public so without further ado::

Headline-“General Rules-Collision Avoidance”
Explain the basic rules for an aircraft operating on and in the vicinity of an aerodome (AD)
Source: caa-b car ops0 0.180
Operation on and in the vicinity of an Aerodrome”

I went to Regulations, then to Flight Operations Rules of the Air CAR OPS0 and I looked up the specific source given “0.180”… and there’s the answer!!

So this advice for the exam references no new rules/regulations and it’s been out for 3 months for perusal yet these “excellent” pilots are “challenged”?
I can understand why the FAA is concerned!!
Shouldn’t anyone??

Those folks who live by the Bible’s golden (ethical) rule to do unto others etc. would have no reason to fly into such a rage as Wilson shamefully displayed this week.
I recall that the truth is supposed to set one free…

Furthermore it’s likely Wilson sought out the chance to rebuke this reporter again, perhaps explain himself…but all we’ve read here is the same self righteousness bluster and outrage at anyone who would dare to question what was vital, all important to him “as a public servant ..to be seen to observe the highest standards of integrity and transparency”.
Well to be fair, he ruined that with his public temper tantrum.

And for all his outrage, proselytizing, even given this opportunity to refute this charge he did not offer one iota of evidence that he was not a liar.

And yet the evidence is clear that JDL has taken over the air freight receivership as their prospectus shows.

So who’s lying? JDL, the customers and/or business owners forced to deal with these shysters?
Or the other shysters- the Minister of Finance Greasy Davis, and his bagman Wilson of the ‘sterling reputation’??
Surely Davis&Co haven’t lied..again?
Surely they haven’t handed the business that is sovereign to the Customs Dept without the legislative and judicial approval required to a private entity??

That this ‘private entity’ was leaked as owned by a gambling consortium nails the coffin shut on “transparency” and “integrity” doesn’t it?

Right, because there are so many foreign investors hoping to use jet ski businesses as their means into the Bahamian drug trade…

Davis&Co’s promised transparency for their governance is what’s always been expected, a brick wall.

When the FNM came into power after the years of PLP’s openly corrupt management, skyrocketing crime statistics and more economic boondoggles too numerous to list here, it forced their government into a role like that of a trash collector and leaky hole fixer.
Then came Dorian, and then Covid.

Now try as they might and they’ve been hard at it, Davis&Co haven’t come up with hard numbers, facts and evidence of malfeasance by the Minnis gov’t’s management of those
disasters.
Instead they dismantled, delayed, cancelled and/or repurposed that gov’t’s promising initiatives stymied by Covid and Dorian into that which best lines their own pockets first while Bahamians citizens still wait.

So one has to wonder in light of Davis&Co’s latest verbal word and number salad ie. their version of accountability, how will the next government prevail against these disasters known as PLP administrations?
And while scrambling to initiate and finish that which Davis&Co has invested millions of Bahamian citizens’ money, a globetrotting crusade in furtherance of his ego.
Climate change.
More precisely the need to prepare and secure these islands for the next environmental disaster, and the next pandemic

Davis demands??
Davis complains that the OECD has a “knee on our neck”? And yet that hasn’t stopped Davis&Co from stuffing cash into their pockets eh?,

Davis complains about our poor blue economy, stymied by climate change caused by OECD nations? And yet Davis&Co has done nothing to mitigate the effects here in the Bahamas, where is the push away from fossil fuels? Where are the gov’t’s environmental engineers when cruise ships weigh anchor on our coral reefs, or discharge garbage and toxins that kill our sea based economy?
Davis complains that we’re not getting the best interest rates?
Who wants to loan $$ to those who speak of promises for “accountability mechanisms” what was wrong with yesterday? Last month?
If Bahamians have no insight as to where the money goes, no accountability from these old day, new daytimers why would anyone lend them money or invest here unless there was an equal amount of graft coming their way?

That ‘knee on the neck’?
Useless where Davis&Co are concerned!
What’s holding back those pudgy paws from stuffing their pockets?
