INTERESTING ASSIGMENT – SHAREHOLDERS’ VISION – BUDGET – POLICIES
It could not be more of ‘…an Interesting Assignment’ than to task a Chairman with;
(a) …Meeting with regional Prime Ministers to discuss sustainability of the Airline.’
It was to be understood that ‘…engaging the services of a Chairman and constituting a Board of Directors,’ with these appointments, they are expecting to use their ‘…collective 100 years of ‘…exceptional records of performance and service to the industry,’ to build it.
Moreover, they, with their collective wisdom, using whatever vision; …wisdom and strategies for their managers and operational,’ would be able to ‘…help in putting the financially-troubled Airline on sound or better foundation.’
No getting away from it, What of the;
(a) ‘…Prime Ministerial; and
(b) …Shareholders’ Vision, Budget, and Re-structuring Policies for the Airline?
These undoubtedly, are all part of the equation.
In this regard, seems that with the ‘…apparent belligerent and reluctant attitude of St. Lucia, Barbados and Grenada,’ there will either be ‘…some hurdles to surmount or possibly, some mountains to climb.’
Failing these, the Chairman and Board of Directors might be ‘…Dancing in the rain.’
