      Air Jamaica was a waterhole for the bigneck thieves in Jamaica. Their loyalty was not country, but for themselves. Let the ghost of the airline rest where it lies. 😢

    I love Jamaica ( visit through the eyes of JamRock cruise every year) & Jamaicans ( our small nonprofit organization sponsors Parry Town Basic School ) however, I sincerely believe the ALL INCLUSIVE Tourism Concept is extremely flawed. I stand to be educated/enlightened or corrected as the service industry outside of the Tourism sectors doesn’t impact the larger community. Creates employment but ALL INCLUSIVE means the Dollars don’t reach the general population. I think that is a problem.
