restaurants and taxi services which are still owed by LIAT 1974 Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have moral responsibility, the moral responsibility has to be to everybody whom LIAT owes,\u201d Gonsalves stressed.<\/p>\n<p>He added that if there were a legal claim, there are some pilots who would get in excess of five hundred thousand dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Gonsalves charged that some former LIAT pilots, engineers, flight attendants and other workers were \u201chighly irresponsible\u201d and caused the airline to lose a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minister spoke of strikes, delays and other industrial action which caused LIAT to lose cash, while having to make refunds.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Leeward Islands Airlines Pilots Association (LIALPA) expressed disappointment in statements made about airline workers by Gonsalves in relation to LIAT.<\/p>\n<p>The pilots said in a press release that it was unfortunate that Gonsalves is chastising workers \u201cin their time of need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LIALPA said that blaming workers for LIAT\u2019s failure was \u201cinaccurate and a cheap shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With not much private sector interest, the shareholder governments had to carry LIAT\u2019s weight until became insolvent and stopped flying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were searching for private sector people, we couldn\u2019t get any,\u201d Gonsalves recalled.<\/p>\n<p>In the present plans for air transportation, the SVG prime minister said \u201call the governments have to be involved, bear the burden so that it becomes easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody should be
