According to an article in the Jamaica Observer, Tourism Minister, Ed Bartlett, told the media in Berlin Germany that he is feeling the ‘pain’ of the Air Jamaica Demise and its pending sale to Caribbean Airlines. He also went on to say that the routes that Caribbean Airlines will be taking over are the profitable routes because Air Jamaica has already closed down the unprofitable routes.

 If that is the case why didn’t Mr. Bartlett administration did not give Air Jamaica another chance to see if running the profitable routes would take the airline out of the red? Why didn’t Mr. Bartlett give the Airline Pilot Association a chance to purchase the airline if he so believes in its future profitability?

 The truth of the matter is that Mr. Bartlett and his administration is trying to amass enough cash from the sale of Air Jamaica, possible sale of Vernamfield, possible sale of Kingston Wharves, and from the IMF deal to finance the next election. With all the corruption ad non-performance of his administration they stand no chance in hell of winning, fairly, the next election in Jamaica. Stop crying crocodiles tears Mr. Bartlett.
