Finally, dumbcant7 gets some help from a fellow balisier boy in this thread. He wasn't doing too good refuting the blatant nepotism, ATR deal, and blind siding everything else.

Hell allyuh even forgot the lies Oreo, Stuart little, De Lie sing say about handling the pandemic yet we in a worst situation than most. And that was just last year to now.
Apparently PNM can't do no wrong when it comes to CAL and that all the wrong doings only happen between May 2010-September 2015. You probably have the same train of thought too...but help the lil jackass nah.
Fact is, it have alot more mishaps under PNM but allyuh to blind. Lets talk about the Air Jamaica take over as well. Let dumbcant7 get his articles together. I'll wait!

Dookeran: Air Jamaica deal good one

Government has no more queries about the merger between Caribbean Airlines Ltd (CAL) and Air Jamaica Ltd.
Finance Minister Winston Dookeran said the deal, which closed on May 1, 2010, would give the airline an opportunity to expand. "There are a number of issues that must be corrected, but fundamentally, the Air Jamaica deal is a good deal. "It is the purchasing of the revenue stream of Air Jamaica that gives Caribbean Airlines the opportunity to expand its space in the world aviation industry," Dookeran said. He was delivering the feature address at Wednesday's launch of a business forum, hosted by the Greater Tunapuna Chamber of Industry and Commerce, which was held at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya. At the June 10 post-Cabinet press conference, Dookeran said a three-member appraisal team was appointed to assess plans for Air Jamaica to continue its current operations. The team, headed by Conrad Aleong, former BWIA chief executive officer, comprised Krishna Boodhai, accountant, and Selby Wilson, former finance minister.
Dookeran on Wednesday said the team submitted its report, which was presented to Cabinet. Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar speaking with reporters at the first regular meeting of the conference of heads of government of the Caribbean Community in Montego Bay, Jamaica, said her Government had reservations about the transparency of the agreement: "We had no input, had no information, except for what we received from the media." Dookeran said there are issues that must be dealt with when it comes to the subsidy programme. "There are certain issues with respect to the subsidy programme which we are dealing with and which we will deal with–the fuel subsidy programme. The strategic direction has been in the right way," Dookeran said. He said in years to come, "CAL can start to take off."
Further talks are to take place on a way forward for the airline, but he explained it is "a hostile world" where competition is swift. "The benefits of having an airline are greater than not having one at all. The cost of keeping it through the fuel subsidy must be weighed against not having one at all. "What you have to do is move to keep the airline at least on a breakeven position, and reap the benefits without any Treasury cost. That is the goal we'll set for them. When we start to process, it would be with a clear mandate and a clear target," Dookeran said. He said Brazil is an ideal opportunity for CAL to expand its routes to.
"The target will be with a desire to expand our reach beyond the Caribbean region, including the wider Caribbean region and perhaps looking south towards Brazil where there are expanding markets and increasing opportunities that are happening at a remarkable rate," Dookeran said. Dookeran said he was so far pleased with the work of the CAL board and there was no need to change the board members. He said, though, that CAL board members' mandate needs to change.

Nice, thank you for doing your research. This is what a good PNM blogger does. You sir earn your pay check from the balisier house.
However, You quoted an article from July 9th 2010. Just a few months after the commencement of the Jamaica routes. Go back to your baliser archives and find out how viable this actually was for the airline after all these years. And look for the clip when your lord and savior himself said why we even doing this when the Jamaicans themselves don't want it.

PNM warned PP not to restart the London route, they did and it failed. But somehow PNM responsible for ending the route and returning the 767s. The facts show it was the PP who ended the route in the twilight of their term and planned to return the aircraft.
Side step to how bad it was to acquire Air Jamaica. Facts are that the PP line minister said it was a good decision. But somehow his party not responsible for how well it performed as if they didnt have a say.
I just like to make allyuh talk, the refutations end up writing themselves.
Cabinet sources said that Dookeran and others "were taken by surprise" by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar's July 2010 announcement at Jamaica House, Kingston, of the decision to honour the agreement on the US$30 million transition plan for CAL to acquire and operate six Air Jamaica aircraft.
Persad-Bissessar said then: "It took us a while to review the agreement, but we are happy to know that we are partners when it comes to Air Jamaica and CAL." The appraisal report identified significant risk in the CAL/Air Jamaica agreement and strongly suggested the need for mitigation before such a deal was signed (See box).

The PP said the AJM deal was a good decision but you 'really know' that it was bad.
It was bad to get 6 B738s to update the age of the fleet and to replace the AJM A320s. But it was good to acquire 2 15yr old B767 to fly an unprofitable route.

RIO is within the range of the 737 but South Africa would mean long range equipment again which we need multiple to have an economy of scale and multiple destinations. I dont think we are there yet.
As troublesome as the Max is, all the kinks will be ironed out. It will burn less fuel than old 738s. If Boeing makes a long range narrowbody 737 like the A321XLR CAL could use it for long range, but for profitability sake they should keep it medium range.
I used to live in Jamaica their tourism and arrivals has been increasing over the last decade. CAL could have benefited from this but the fact that we took over their airline was a sore point. And that was compounded by our anti-regional rhetoric along with border policies that seemed to victimise Jamaicans. They are very proud ppl, and they decided even when the prices are higher to not choose CAL over US airliners. That is why the Jamaican routes dont perform as well as they should.

Yes Guyana was the market. But Guyanese don’t forget. There were countless times CAL delayed flights to GEO and PBM because of delays on the airbridge, whether it was aircraft troubles or crew problems. The flight would arrive from Miami and the Guyanese intransits would have to disembark because they needed the aircraft to go Tobago. One time I was on one of those Tobago flights after being delayed for almost 4 hours. Apparently that was a normal thing. The Guyanese government also questioned CAL about this. Dumbcant7 has the insider info so he can confirm this. Wait, no he wouldn’t because it don’t fit his narrative. When Caribbean Airlines approached the Guyanese Government for flag carrier status and they replied with a big fat NO, now you know why.
AAL and JBU has now entered the GEO market and serving both Miami and New York giving CAL some good competition . When Guyana opened their borders last year, JBU and AAL started the next day. CAL was left sleeping and had to scramble to begin GEO operations. They couldn’t even start Miami until last week. I’m glad for the Guyanese travel public that they now have options, however I’m sorry for our air carrier. If we were on the ball, we would have benefited bigly on the GEO market.

I have to disagree. COVID played a big factor in the situation they’re in now. But there were other things going on that they can now cover up using the covid excuse.
