Now, you are not qualified to bray and,worse of all you support a UWP of equal compentence.

It is the process that's flawed...and Allan's personal involvement as an investor.

The issue is how to get the two carriers to talk at the level of their Boards to work out such a plan that could be put to their shareholder governments. One approach would be for the present Chairman of CARICOM, Grenada’s Prime Minister Tillman Thomas, to appoint a team of say three people, headed by a seasoned diplomat and including persons with the issues of Caribbean airlines, to bring representatives of the airlines to the table and facilitate the development of the plan.

"but I persevere in the belief that a minority reads and understands" These lines Mr. Josie is where you presented your best point, for all you wrote in that article is pure facts, but very few may read and understand you. Well done, my old football friend. You have kicked that ball around beautifully.

Peter it was Sir John And Bird Who sold out to the UK Goverment over the purchase of LIAT for some $40m
of liabilities, in return they got Halcyon in Vieux Fort and Antigua.
Sylvester who represented SVG on that delegation to the UK got nothing, for not supporting the idea of purchasing debts. Thats a legacy of the great Sir John. Are we to blame the Vencies for looking ahead now.

The 4 Georges, John George Melvin Compton, George Odlum, George Murray and George Charles, must be turning in their graves to see what a singer Peter Josie has become. Singing for SUPPER, that's what Josie has been reduced to. The once proud and dynamic Peter Josie, spends his days and nights inventing all kinds of CRAP to write, in his feeble attempts to please the failed UWP regime and its bunch of rogues, ex-Federal prisoners, admitted tax evaders, and convicted and yet to be convicted criminals. Look out readers, because I will soon send the Voice a response to Josie's utter hogwash. The least one can do on such an important topic is to research the facts, and present to the people a salient analysis of airline indutry realities in our Caribbean, vis-a-vis Caribbean governments' duty to protect the various industries of the Caribbean, notwithstanding the WTO. Does Josie know that the governmehnt of Japan still subsidizes Japanese industry in a multitude of ways? And what is the point about praising Allen Chastanet with such vigour? Allen is also one of the rogues in Cabinet, who stands guilty of conflicts of interest big time in the nation's business. His hands are deep personally in the airline industry, and the hotel industry, while he is Minister of Tourism in St. Lucia. Yes indeed, SINGING FOR SUPPER, that Peter Josie. Linda.

Don't expect that from this man, he has a lot to hide from St lucians for his involvement in that period.
