Air Jamaica laying Off 200+ workers

[ECO]

Air Jamaica says is it laying off more than 200 workers as the national carrier struggles with growing losses.

CEO Bruce Nobles said Tuesday the cuts affect workers across the board and are needed to bring costs in line with revenue........................The airline has laid off nearly 500 people since January, when it also eliminated routes to Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles and closed offices in those cities. source: http://www.eturbonews.com/12053/air-jam ... 00-workers

Whatever happened to the Spirit Airlines deal a few months ago? I just assumed that the deal went through and everything was fine since Air Jamaica has been staying out of the news ever since the deal was mentioned.

I am just praying that the airline does not disappear from the skies again.

My exact thought Tinks-whats a country without it's own airline to carry it's name.
If they do sell the airline, I do hope it lands in the right hand
