I just love how much of a sh*t hole this island is. How does a non third world country lose power to their only international airport during normal operating hours? I mean this wasn’t even the middle of the night or anything it was at 2 pm. Now the question at hand is, why didn’t they just bring a wheeled disembarking stairway to at least let them out of the airplane? They have been sitting in that plane for about 3 hours and you are going to make them sit for another 3 to 4 hours. I fee really sorry for the tourist who just wasted there whole day sitting on the plane.
Yes, I am sure this incident would have a negative impact, no sh*t ….
It was reported today in Saipan Tribune that the skate park and Saipan gondola lift project would be sharing the same space. I predict both projects will be sharing space in the trash can since a) there is no money to fund both projects b) it’s a waste of money c) they will not be able to afford the insurance once build.
An article in the Marianas Variety is stating that since the government can’t afford to keep wasting its money and resources to hire the local population the local companies has to hire them. Labor is saying it will no longer provide a waiver on the 20% local hiring requirement. The problem is this rule is retarded. Business should be able to hire anyone they choose in the bases that he/she the employee can perform the job that the employer wants. Not because the government told him that he has to make sure 20% of his/her work force is local population. You know what the people who get hurts the most is the small mom and pop business. Thinking about it, if you have 5 employees you need one local, if you have 3 employees you need one local, if you have 1 employee you still need 1 local. Oh I love this one, if an employers is found in violation of the 20% resident workforce requirements, they will be given a 10days to correct the violation. Ten days to find a new capable local worker… do they know how hard and impossible task that is. To find a worker in 10 days, the amount of paper work, the news adds, etc etc one has to do to hire anyone in this island.
