Good to see that the PM and the Jamaican Government are at least keeping their senses.

Amongst all of the problems with JALPA's proposal that the Government has identified, the larger question is about JALPA's future role in a "JALPA-owned Air Jamaica," namely whether JALPA is supposed to protect the interests of the workers or run a business? Is the inherent contradiction between the interests of workers and that of a business not evident.

Well, I guess it is, given JALPA's philosphy that having a workforce of 1607 employees to operate 7 airplanes constitutes a "lean but focused workforce."
