  1. As Caribbean Airlines makes what is a rational move in serving the Eastern Caribbean. This should be the end of the farcical LIAT 2020. The announcement is timely, just before CARICOM meets.
    The owners of LIAT 1974 except for the Creative Enrichment boss has walked away years ago; and any rational person should realize this Dog only barks these days. It took him 2 years for him to realize no investor will put a dollar in LIAT unless they have majority control.
    We now awaits the preposterous decision of an African Airlink
    The fact of the matter is, a LIAT airline still has a place should it be a well managed airline without Government interference.
    We still have an underserved market waiting for a well managed airline with reasonable pricing and good customer service. A market to serve consisting of Barbuda, St Kitts/Nevis,
    Anguilla, Tortola, Saint Martin, PR and the USVI

  2. A little over a year ago at a Caricom conference Gaston’s says: “There is a tendency in this region in which we have some free riders. Everyone wants transportation but no one wants to pay for it. We have to implement a programme of shared benefit and shared burden. So I implore our colleagues to address this important issue of transportation urgently,”
    This seems to be Phase 1 of such a program. It’s now your turn Gaston.

  3. ONE THOUGHT OR TWO
    Winston Southwell, your comment: “…..The fact of the matter is, a
    LIAT airline still has a place. “…..A market to serve consisting of Barbuda, St. Kitts/Nevis, Anguilla, Tortola, Saint Martin, PR and the USVI” prompted this thought. You probably researched and concluded that.

    Briefly, even without the benefit of publicly available financials, I think a refocus currently to stabilize (a way of restructure) LIAT 1974 Ltd by bolstering and strengthening its operations within these markets for at least a break-even result, is possible and achievable.
    In this context, A&B with the understanding of the ‘Receiver’ can present at the upcoming CARICOM meeting the idea of an operating Partnership Agreement between CAL and LIAT 1974 Ltd. that would satisfy regional
    regulatory requirement.
    Of course the Court is the final judge.
    There are too many unresolved issues at this time related to LIAT 2020 and an African Airlink.

    Let us interact with humility, grace, good intentions! Be nice to each other!

    Save our Humanity, Save our Youths, Save our Environment, Save our Soil!!!

    Respect

  4. Aryu diff? Aryu nuh hear de man dun cuss CAL & tell dem Kip out! Him say Dem greedy, cause we buy whole ton a process goods from T&T an dem an dem want more!
    How he get wey from dat?

  5. @Ratwell…hear+ye!
    Your comments of “Let us interact with humility, grace, good intentions! Be nice to each other!
    Save our Humanity, Save our Youths, Save our Environment, Save our Soil!!!”
    While your word warms the cockles of my heart, it also begs the question. After 100 years of undermining each other, degrading each other; we entered into an era where our Caribbean institutions are failing us on how do we regain humility, grace and good intentions?
    The Caribbean is a fragile region and its institutions are failing its people.
    It’s media are state media, or internet troll farms who post articles primarily PR pieces filled with paternalism issued by PR flacks.
    Look for the readout from Caricom 50 anniversary meeting. I know of no journalist operating in the Caribbean with deep sources or practices investigative journalism who are able to provide a critical analysis of what is suppose to be the meeting deciding on the Caribbeans future. All missives will be a parroted version of what they are given.
    The drivers of Caribbean fragility include a lack of social cohesion, the concentration of political power, social and regional disparities, and the capture and mismanagement of natural resources by the elite and persistent. Antigua and Barbuda natural resources are the 365 beaches and the yielding from those beaches.
    As a region, our premier institution of leaning UWI claims it educates Caribbean leaders and I have not been able to find one courses in ethic and civility.
    UWI created by the Univ of London. It has remained a senior civil service training school. It does not offered any courses in ethics, civility and integrity in government.
    If missing from our premier institution of learning are cources, seminars or thematic studies that teaches never discriminate unfairly by the dispensing of special favors or privileges to anyone, whether for remuneration or not; and never accept, for himself or his family, favors or benefits under circumstances which might be construed by reasonable persons as influencing the performance of his governmental duties.
    I’ll take your words under advisement, knowing what is the state of affairs

  7. ONE THOUGHT OR TWO
    Winston Southwell, your comment that clearly refers to the lack of integrity, responsibility, accountability of our actions is truly right on point!
    “We must all do the best we can…..Whatever the situation we’re in……NEVER GIVE UP!”
    Your effort is not a ‘sprint’ but a ‘relay-marathon’ that will in the future stimulate the minds of our Caribbean people to make radical changes. Those changes will overcome the powerful, intentional, negative forces and influences of distractions and fraudulence that are promoted and paraded as models for success.

    Let us interact with humility, grace, good intentions! Be nice to each other!

    Save our Humanity, Save our Youths, Save our Environment, Save our Soil!!!

    Respect

  8. With due respect, I take your point of : “Let us interact with humility, grace, good intentions! Be nice to each other!
    Save our Humanity, Save our Youths, Save our Environment, Save our Soil!!!”
    By setting such a bar, hopefully our voices here, can be a potent reminder of the persistent poverty, class discrimination and limited job prospects for advancement faced by our youth; and inspire institutions to provide resources to poor communities in areas including health, advocating for living wages, civil engagement and technology
