ZNS staff jobs and politics
I am writing in response to an interesting article under the headline ''ZNS Staff Jobs Shock'' in the August 17 edition of The Tribune.
Memories of Bahamas Airways
Today's editorial and the accompanying letter brought back many memories of Bahamas Airways Limited, a company, where I was a pilot from 1963 until 1970, and which has occupied much of the last four years of my time.
Disaster of Bahamas Airways
In 1968 when the Swire Group signed on to the restructuring of Bahamas Airways, the agreement with the Government stipulated that no other airline entity would be allowed to fly the profitable routes controlled by the Government unless the loss leading routes were included...
Bahamian mindset
As a Bahamian who has lived abroad for almost a decade and a half, I am truly saddened and embarrassed at the state of our Bahamas and the mindset of our people.
Disappointment over Clifton Park
Dear Mr Carey: I write to express my dismay that the Clifton Park is open only weekdays between 9am and 5pm. Exactly how are Bahamians supposed to enjoy the rich heritage?
The issues that matter
The Christie Administration is badly off course on a number of issues. It is becoming more obvious each and every day that there needs to be a focus and dedicated attention to those bread and butter issues which really matter to the average Bahamian.

Sporting benefit of a national lottery
Great Britain is now exceeding its medal count of all previous Olympics.
Church must rise against the numbers
The evangelical church in the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) will probably face its greatest test of commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ in the coming months as the Christie administration moves forward with its plan to hold a referendum on gambling. Of course, this particular voting bloc is perhaps the most important within the PLP.
Ministers facing questions
Having just read today's Tribune Editorial (Friday, August 10), I felt compelled to jot you these few lines regarding the newly appointed NIB Executive Chairman's demands for expensive office and vehicle, etc.
