Do you think that repairs to the runway apron lighting and upgrades to the airline instrument landing system have nothing to with the airport also?

I guess the only thing worse than me being an air traffic controller would be you being one. I’ll be the first to admit I wouldn’t be able to direct a flight landing but at least I’d know to confer with the weather station before advising a pilot about entering an airspace with weather patterns that would cause a crash.

My point is that if the OBA had the information about all these repairs that need to be done that the airport relies on why didn’t they work them into the deal with Aecon. Aecon builds all sorts and has a massive amount of resources to do so. They build highways in Israel, nuclear plants in North America and CN Tower with its own built-in WEATHER RADAR. They will collect revenue from our Airport for decades and I’m sure it will be much more than 8 billion a year once they’re done. OBA could have included these other repairs when brokering the deal.

If you gave me $100 and I gave you back $500, that’s a good deal right? See you if you can your pea brain around that.

What is crazy is $60m wasted on Grand Atlantic. Who got rich out of that? Like we don’t know.

You know what’s really crazy…OJ!
It still thinks that spending $60 million (which it calls $100M..because it’s stupid) for a return of over three hundred million is a bad thing. It thinks that ‘losing’ $800 Million is a good thing…clearly it benefited from that. It seems to have an anti Bermuda agenda. How disgusting, sad and pathetic. I’m guessing it’s angry because it’s ugly.

The only logical conclusion here is that OJ is absolutely crazy.

$375,000 can buy a pretty nice class A diesel pusher, maybe tag axle, 40′ RV complete with a couple TVs, Bose sound system, diesel generator, 100gal water tank, holding tanks, stainless kitchen appliances & slightly better than mid market for the type finish all round.

Has TCB looked at buying off the shelf production city busses from any one of a number of Asian builders already represented here in Bermuda? No, of course not. Doing anything other than what they have done year after year, buying expensive custom busses is beyond the comprehension capability of the PTB.

If someone has to explain to him / her why a WEATHER RADAR has nothing to do with the airport, there is no helping them. They have absolutely NOTHING to do with each other? Different service,used for tracking weather patterns not planes, is run by a different department and staff that have nothing to do with each other.

Could be worse I guess, I’m just glad ” The Original Truth” isn’t an air traffic controller.

Your an a.. at times.
OBA should have put in another $4million for a ten year period of toilet paper.

We are so screwed.

“The capital spending will also address ongoing code compliance works at the airport. These compliance works include: repairs to the runway apron lighting and upgrades to the airline instrument landing system as well as the security fencing and CCTV.”

Why wasn’t this included in the Aecon deal? For a contract valued at $274 million OBA could have slipped that 2.5 mil in.
