SAVIOUR, you could talk till you're blue in the face because it seems this administration continues to believe that the Maltese people are too pre-occupied by their hardships and their political ignorance to notice how bad this government has been in it's administration. One must also consider where the Opposition stands on all this because as far as anyone knows, there has not been one beep from all the gummy bears at Milend. As far as ARRIVA goes, one has to wonder why they sat up a British system based on a much larger country and they tried to make it work in Malta. Is it possible that ARRIVA did not employ some MALTESE CUC that knew the old routes schedule well and tried to accomodate the Maltese people with routes & schedules that they were familiar with. In time they could have adjusted to better schedules and routes that could have been adapted progressively. The action for AIR MALTA should be simple enough if this government is really serious in saving the national airline. (1) Nationalise the Airport because it was a grave mistake to privatise it. This government can do this by making an offer to buy a mayority shareholding in MIA. let the government dictate what fees AIR MALTA pays to a state entity. (2) AIR MALTA should transfer two of its planes to low cost and keep SELMUN PALACE as a hotel to service these everything included holidays. (3) This government should stop all subsidies to the tourism industry, if they can't make it on their own competitive capitalism, AIR MALTA will pick up the slack of offering com-petitive travel & accomodation rates.
