I too will not cry for Caribbean Airlines
DEAR EDITOR,
I agree with this writer of this letter captioned ‘Don’t Cry for Caribbean Airlines’ (KN 13/05/2019) as he knows what Guyanese go through travelling with Caribbean Airlines, formerly BWIA. The last time I travelled to Guyana, it was BWIA.
I vowed, never again to use them but my visits to my country of birth have been curtailed by choice. Now, I go to other places instead. Crime has been the other reason.
CAL depended on Guyanese to make up shortfall in their budget, if there is one. Simply put, it is price gouging. Some Guyanese will pay through their noses, especially near holidays to visit their homeland only to be robbed between the airport and their final destination or afterwards. That is not an incentive. I can list a dozen other places to visit than Guyana, for a holiday. Have done so more than fifty years since migrated.
And with the “oil” expected within a year, CAL will find it more convenient to gouge
Guyanese, since they think that ALL people Guyanese will share that oil money which will in fact be limited to just a few.
