LIAT - The Caribbean Airline Some Love To Hate!
When the Media suggested that LIAT was intent on engaging Captain Brunton as CEO, LIAT"S Board said it was not so. They Lied. Why did they do this to a long suffering people? Birdland Town Crier's response may suffice:Quote:The people have no rights which the Political Elites & Bourgeoisie should respect.
http://www.trinidadexpress.com/business/Ian_Brunton_is_new_LIAT_CEO-164537666.html Most would state that the "Captain" has an impressive pedigree to lead LIAT given the colonial past of these SIDS.
Troubling Questions: Begin with the Town Crier's; The Feud with "FIFA Jack Sparrow"; The Captain's Role in the purchase of CAL's Nine French & Italian ATR's; His Role in the purchase of Air Jamaica; and, The Captain's Role in the Travel Alliance with Air India.
