RE: Air Dominicana Bankrupt.
Who in here were happy that we had this carrier? I sure was simply for the mere fact American Airlines thought they ran sh!t since they did not have much competition competing with them and how they attempted to charge people for check in bags which did not succeed only because Dr threatened them that it was giong to use its own carrier. I thought that was a bold move on DR's part looking out for its own people in that retrospect.

They can restart this if an American company runs it or is atleast 51% shareholder.

So why does it have to be a 51% American owned company? What is it with people in the Caribbean or nations of people of color that believes anything that came from abroad or given to them by a white men must be good?

I mean, should the Caribbean nations such a place that is growing like the DR not have their own carriers and be successful? In term of getting to sufficiency, we should encourage that the Dominican Republic to have its own Airline as any other investment it has made . In fact, I hope that the nations in the Caribbean would start investing thier own money in projects that would benefit the Caribbeans and each repsective nations in the caribbean. Why do we have to have an American owne company shareholding Airline carrier?

To me AIR DOMINICANA seemed very appropriate fro DR to have and should have done all they could to keep this Airline in business period.

the americans will make sure that its run correctly. Then when the Dominicans learn how to run it they can buy out the americans. Its failed twice man someone else needs to step in and change the structure.
Also, it would be good if a major airline company would run this because they can save $$$ on planes and parts.

Its like shell, someone needs to be part owner or else the Dominicans will bring down the company with fruad

Yeah,

According to the the people interviewed; the ones that were handling the funds, were Spain companies.




There you have it (lol)! And to think that many Dominicans seem to think that Spain has their best interests at heart (lol).

I hope you do not mind me having made some minor corrections on your statement there. What can I say, this stupid computer of mine here and the auto-spell check underlines every little mistakes made. Otherwise, I might have not seen there were mistakes on the first go that easily since I had already comprehended what you meant to say (lol).



No Problem Thanks
