Air Jamaica Pilots Trying To Save Air J; Will They Suceed?
According to recent news release The Air Jamaica Pilot Association is desperately trying to meet today’s deadline in coming up with the money to show the government that they are serious about purchasing the airline. This maybe the only chance that jamaicans have of claiming air Jamaica as their own again. (more…)




Words are that Trinidad owned Caribbean Airlines are in the final stage of a deal to purchase Air Jamaica. Air Jamaica has been on the selling block since it was reported that it is indebted to the tune of US$1.2 billion. While most Jamaicans may feel a sense of loss with Jamaica no longer owning the Airline they will cherish the idea that at least the Airline has not gone under and it is still Caribbean owned.
Many Cubans are celebrating the 50Th anniversary of the Revolution and the 70th of the founding of the Central Organization of Cuban Trade Unions (CTC). This is especially a special event for many Cuban Americans in light of the fact President Obama has eased travel restrictions between the USA and Cuba. Several Cubans from the Miami area and elsewhere are returning home as part of the celebration. Cuba a communist country is Jamaica nearest neighbor (90 miles) and both countries enjoy a very cordial relationship regardless of which government in power.
