Hi, I totally agree with you. Isaw this very thing happen in my home state of Alaska. However eventually it back fired when the people found out what was happening. The bad airlines went out of business because they spread themselves to thin trying to run the little guy out of business. People supported them by imput from people like you. Let people know whats happening anyway you can. Anyway, my wife and I are really in love witrh Roatan & the islands. Spent many winters on Cayos Cahinos & Roatan. We are not rich, but plan on retiring their someday In the meantime, would like to caretake during the winter months if anybody interested. My wife and I work summers in Alaska and go south for the winter. My wife works as a chef at a remote hunting & fishing lodge and I for the Alaska Dept.of Fish & Game. Would like to talk to you people down their about living down their in the island life.
