“We are working with Caribbean (Airlines) towards a transaction date concurrent with our major schedule change on April 12, 2010,” Nobles disclosed.
He, however, acknowledged that the date was a “target” and could change.
“The plan is that all employee positions at Air Jamaica Holdings Ltd will be made redundant effective with the transaction date,” he revealed.
He said Caribbean Airlines will be financially responsible for the transition operation after the transaction date.”

That line especially doesn’t bode well for the already overcritical unemployment rate. This deal doesn’t seem to have any lasting advantage to Jamaica. Yes, we get it of our books but over 10,000 people stand to lose their livelihood not to mention the prospect of the resultant dependence on external entities to work in our interest.
It is understandable that we must divest. It makes logical sense! But wisdom must be practiced in every avenue of governance. This is an incredibly frustrating situation, but our Government is increasingly ignoring us, so what can we say?
We must be careful with this administration, it is increasingly seeming to have someone’s interest in mind that is not ours. Stay alert out there!
