On the same day or within a couple days you can go to the office and speak with the person in charge. Try doing that in your “real country”. <br /><br />Pick up the telephone.<br /><br /><br />Signed: An AnguillianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-72728250576990196262009-11-05T08:04:00.167-04:002009-11-05T08:04:00.167-04:00Why is so hard for you annoymous to pik up the pho...Why is so hard for you annoymous to pik up the phone of visit office is it because you are not intrested in the truth and interested in posting inuendos and half truths for what reason I can only imagine.

The ones nearest to the planned RESA is at least 100 yards to the north of it. The furthest is at least 200 yards away.

The pits are exploratory or test pits to determine what the soil conditions are within the site. <br /><br />As for the ownership of the heavy equipment a closer examination or just taking 5 mins to ask the the technical team that is in place would have revealed that a number of different contractors were used on site given the depths of the pits and the short time frame in which the test pits had to be done in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-27676094962808348272009-10-20T07:49:27.402-04:002009-10-20T07:49:27.402-04:00The heavy equipment belongs to Junior Fleming.

One of the m...It's not only about private jets. One of the major trends in commercial aviation is smaller jets going longer distances. <br /><br />At the top of the range is Boeing's new Dreamliner 787, which can easily fly point-to-point, non-stop, anywhere on the Earth's surface that there's a runway for it to land on. We'd have to develop Scrub Island for that to be applicable to Anguilla, though. :-). <br /><br />There are also the so-called "Jungle Jets" that Embraer makes. Or the ones that Bombardier of Canada makes, or those of any of a number of other firms. They are only marginally larger than the Gulstream G500s that are causing all the fuss above, and they have the range, or will soon, not just to fly from Puerto Rico, but from Maimi, non-stop, to Anguilla. <br /><br />It was even rumored that AA was going to replace their entire Caribbean fleet with planes like that -- certainly their pilot's union was up in arms about the possibility elsewhere -- but that was before the dot-com bubble popped, much less 9/11 and a threatened global depression.<br /><br />Technological progress is inexorable, even in the midst of a depression, and we're not even talking about the much smaller, "personal" jets that are starting to come on line that could add a whole new meaning to the phrase "air taxi".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-91528314131276678552009-10-18T22:41:39.912-04:002009-10-18T22:41:39.912-04:00Why are we spending $EC 10M (and, of course, it wi...Why are we spending $EC 10M (and, of course, it will be more than that before it is over) to land some jets? <br /><br />Has anyone demonstrated what AXA gets for this $10M expenditure, especially when we lack money for everything else?<br /><br />Does anyone share my strong suspicion that this is another "ego" project, to placate someone(s) who want to be able to land their fancy jets here? No earthly way that AXA actually gains money on this expenditure.<br /><br />Any idea what fees the jets pay to land here? We need about 10M of them to justify this nonsensical payment.<br /><br />Last question: who has the contract? Who is actually making money on this deal?
