Is BWIA marketing office in B’dos necessary?

THE EDITOR: I couldn’t agree more with the Government wanting to restructure the management of BWIA. There has to be change if the airline is to move forward. There are too many “business plans” that do not seem to be working.

One position I have been calling for change is the position of the top marketing post which is held by a certain person based in Barbados. To me this is a waste of resources. Why can’t that position be held by a qualified Trinidadian based in Trinidad? Why is there an office in Barbados and an office in Trinidad for that same person? The question of management change must be assiduously addressed if we are to move forward positively.
