Dear Editor,
The reduction in service by Caribbean Airlines (CAL) was, indeed, expected. Their crew members leave much to be desired and they poorly handle complaints.
Furthermore, the introduction of Fly Jamaica presented a viable alternative to locals and Jamaicans in the diaspora. By these CAL changes Fly Jamaica is sure to expand.
Jamaicans need not worry; we have it within us to succeed. We are a persistent people. Former Air Jamaica employees, especially the ones who lobbied for the airline to be sold to them so it could remain in the hands of Jamaicans, must now be smiling.
The divestment of the airline was a grave injustice to Jamaica and its people. The politicians did not give the Jamaican people a chance. Locals should have been given the opportunity to invest in saving Air Jamaica before divesting it to outsiders. We are not dunces; we are not fools; we are a brilliant, educated, hard-working, ambitious people.
We will not be grounded.
