usual garbage.

Butch is great with hotels...a big flop with Air Jamaica. he should stick to hospitality where he's a genius.

He followed the wrong business model with Air Jamaica...champagne dis n dat, massive GOJ backed borrowing for a wholesale refleeting with Airbus, nuff new & unproven routes with massive marketing costs etc .... not the way to go.


Southwest budget style should have been the model... not Singapore Airlines or some such top tier carrier

dat massive spending put di airline over the top...or rather on the bottom

wi ah suffah fram dat GOJ backed binge now

Memba im Belize route. He was told by an ICI that Belize was it!

Plane dem never ever pass 1/5 full..except on the inaugural when Butch, his buddies and his hangers-on loaded that flight.

[Karl]

Di pilot dem have money like Butch?

Access to money, is the key!

[Muadib]

Butch had the marketing ting down to a science.. unfortunately the PNP effed up the product..

The concept is above your understanding.. don't sweat it.

what unadulterated crap. He had the marketing down? LoL!

a few issues:

what was the airlines debt load (1) before and (2) after his ill fated misadventure with Air Jamaica?

how much taxpayer money was put in during this "privatization"? What was the level of indebtedness of Air Jamaica to statutory agencies during his tenure?

When you can supply positive answers to these basic questions.... reapply for me to take you seriously.

I am aware of Butch & Co. marketing and and management resume... what is yours ?

Both sides of the AJ Management issue under Butch have been presented.. I have weighed and determined where the fvck up occurred and the parties responsible..

you are free to continue your mindless campaign.. not interested in wasting further time on the matter.

do you understand the concept of 'Marketing' ???

Clearly not.

Read the reviews of Air Jamaica at the time....

Once again.. a case of the marketing tools being ahead of the 'product'... Di Marketing Team get A+.... Product Development get failing grade.. I leave you to guess who was in charge of Product Development...

By the way Unnuh memba someting called 9-11 ?

Asinine.

Marketing is one element of running a business. What's the point of great marketing when one's business model is wrong and leads to massive debt & failure?

You spout nonsense about product development. The airline was so called privatized with the direction and model set by Stewart's AJAG....and they hoodwinked the GOJ to provide massive support....for an incorrect business model of massive growth, over-reach along with premium service....leaving the taxpayer in a huge hole.

Tap worship man yute.

[Muadib]

What is the 'Product' ?

Dis one biggah dan yuh... leave things like this to the experts.. I would advise you search for an expert opinion (like yuh do wid oddah topics) rather than attempt amateurish analysis.

Mi ask yuh if yuh memba someting called 9-11..

lol !
