this argument about everybody paying for service a few use is a bull argument and you know it. </div></div>

The argument about AA deal with other Islands is neither here nor there. We have entered into a deal which is no good to us. the breakout already prove that is would have saved us money if we had never entered into such a stupid deal The fact that you are going to use the that idiotic deal as proof that we would be held hostage if Air Joke is done away with is proof itself how bad that deal is.

As for my argument that Air Joke only benefited part of the population while 100% of Jamaica had to pay for it... it still stands as there has not been one single shred of proof that we have ever gotten benefits in excess of all the money we have had to borrow to fund Air Joke vs all the roads, schools, hospitals and other institutions that have not maintained while Air Joke has bled red all over the balance sheets of Jamaican Economy.

Sell the Airline! AJ is a dog with fleas. Even when AJ wet lease the planes to cut cost they still cannot make money. Within a year of handing over to the pilots they would have to file bankruptcy and liquidate the Airline.
Pilots and Unions bosses (I hate Unions) cannot run an Airline.

Day before yesterday I heard the Pilot Association guy admitting that he and the pilots were against the current management when it announced but now he had to admit that the new programmes worked and the only reason Air Joke was in the red was the massive historical debts it was carrying.
So it tells you that these folks had no vision all these years it was wallowing in red ink they went with every failed management and owners that operated the Airline and the one opportunity they had to operate under a somewhat honest management they initially resisted it.

As to the Unions I keep referring to the video on YouTube that the Comrade Unions made for the PNP during election. In it they ridiculed Bruce Gelding and Audley Shaw. Golding for daring to mention Cambodia and Vietnam in a positive light and Shaw for saying he was going to the IMF and other multilaterals to seek cheaper funds to replace the high interests loans that Comrade <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Omar-The-Clueless</span> saddled Jamaica with.

So the Unions are dead to me they are not interested in Jamaica moving forward.
