It is to bad that most of us are willing to give politicians the benifit of the doubt only to learn later that they were being dishonest all along.
I hope not to complain pointlessly, but it eludes my senses how some of us can be so upbeat or even optimistic about the positive intention of VAT.
We speak of VAT as if it is being delivered to us by a government who have always been effective, delivering opportunities and doing things properly. When did the change take place?
We have known nothing but a careless and reckless government giving us dynamic speeches and yet committing us to nothing but more and more burdensome responsibilities.
Fred Smith is not here to help fix our country but to find and exploit the loop holes that exist in the ancient law books of this country. Instead of fixing them he is using them to big himself up, I do not questioning the vital talking points he is using and and willing to abuse, no, what I am questioning is his purpose. It is past politicians get to work or get out of the way, no more enrichingis themselves and the friends on the backs of the people and this country.
Fred Smith have three countries US, Haiti and the UK where he can run and hide when the Bahamas has come to a total mess because of people like him. He don't have any more to say than the rest of us who have been raising the exercises of these talking points for decades, it's just that he is a Johnny come lately loud mouth ready and willing to sell us all down the river for big profits, and I am sure he will.
Supervalue wereone of the first stores to increase prices last year when VAT was announces. The government first asked for 15% to take care of their habits and we said no. So they said 7.5% and allowed major stores double their prices while they do nothing about it. So the government will be getting 15% after all thanks to Mr Roberts and others like him.
Most comments here are based on political spin, don't fall for it: the pilots are doing an immaculate job, not one fatality from the time Bahamasair existed. Now compare this to the politicians Bahamasair have crashed and burned a long time ago under these non-practical people who are hijacking, crashing and burning down this country.
1. The DPM is being personal and political far from being honest and professional. 2. Take Bahamasair out of control of the government, their friends and over staffing of their constituents. 3. Downsizing of Bahamasair services, routs, employees is necessary including, partnership and flight sharing with other local carriers as well as technical services to other carriers.
Bahamasair is a viable service for this country and for this country remove the politics and friendship out of it and watch profits fly.
Air Jamaica is flying wide bodies all around the world out of Jamaica while Bahamasair is struggling with a few islands and a few cities in Florida, this is dispicable. Bahamasair can exists and function very profitably, get rid of the politics out of Bahamasair and every cooperation in this country.
We seem to be in love with the foreigners so maybe it would do better with a foreign government once again!
Look Mr Pinder jump ship for more money, he abandoned his post without anyone behind the wheel. He did this to help himself and was praised by the PM. So why on earth should these pilots or any are of service in this country do any different?
Regardless these matter should have been settled long before now in a professional and timely manner and it should have never come down to this in any way form or fashion.
The political arina have set a bad precedents, the timing of both engineers of BEC and the pilots of BahamasAir is a question of: 1. Credibility or the inability of our politicians to manage the affairs of this country in an effective and timely manner. 2. Or, Perhaps our politicians are so busy tryimg to distract us that they are so caught up in their own distractions that they never see whats coming?
It makes absolute no sense for the reporter to report fuel loaded to the aircraft without reporting the total amount of FOB (fuel on board) at the gate? Total FOB is released by the same person or company that loaded the fuel. So to ask and report fuel loaded instead of FOB would would be very poor and awkward journalism.
