If as Ms Coleiro Preca said the committee did not meet for a month on such a thorny issue then there is reason to believe that it is the Ministry that is insulting the citizens not whoever draws attention to this gross failure. Additionally it is more indicative that whoever is leading the committee wants the opposition out not the other way round. I very much fear that the destiny of Airmalta lies along that of the defunct Drydocks and other national assets (like Maltacom, MIA, Midmed and many others) that have been given to the foreigners for peanuts. The strategy is always the same turn the company from a revenue generator to a liability and sell for cheap. We citizens then have to foot the bill for the shortfall in revenue and lost jobs through our taxes.

X'arroganza ta Gvern!! Lanqas tisthu ma tafu sur Ministru! Taht Gvernijiet Laburisti L'Air Malta dejjem imxiet il quddiem u ghamlet qlih ghax kienet immexxijja min nies kapaci. Alla jbierek taht dan Gonzipn tal `PAR IDEJN SODI' L'Air Malta issa tinsab fix tinsab kollu tort tal l'inkapacita , l'inkompitenza , u tmexxijja zoppa u ma joqodux iwahlu f'haddiehor u f'xejn! Zgur li huwa f'interess tal Partit Laburista li L- Air Malta terga tkun vijabli u tqum fuq saqaja u il PL lest li jaghmel hiltu kollha biex dan isehh. Ghalhekk Marie-louise Coleiro Tkelmet kif tkelmet Sur Ministru! u mhux kif qed tinsinwa int!!! Huwa primarjament id dover u id dmir taghkom bhala Gvern li taghmlu min kollox biex issalvaw din l'azjenda tant utili ghal Malta u dan tridu turuh bic-car u mhux bil paroli biss. Jiena nemmen li KULLHADD jixtieq li L'Air Malta terga tkun vijabli ghal gid taghna stess u zgur li il PL lest li jaghti semghu biex dan isehh. Il fatt li il kumitat ilu Xahar ma jiltaqa, zgur li ma jawgurax tajjeb.... hi xini ir raguni u dan f'ghajnejn il poplu ma jidirx sewwa. J'Alla Kullhadd jaghti semghu bis-serjeta biex insalvaw din l'azjenda tant utili ghal pajjizna.

Sur Ministru, taf x'missek ghedt flok li d-diskors ta' Ms.Coleiro Preca kien aggressiv u insultattiv, li kemm ilkom fi gvern l'Airmalta kissirtuha u farraktuha. Dockyard ohra. Tal-misthija, imsieken l-haddiema u l-familji taghhom.

Sur Ministru, il-LP kull ma ha jara hu li jitihdu l-ahjar decizjonijiet favur l-AIR MALTA u l-haddiema taghha mhux biex ikun SCAPEGOAT tal-Gvern nazjonalista li ha mitt decizjoni hazina li Fallija. Ir-responsabilta tal falliment ta l-Air Malta qieghda fuq spallejkhom ghax inthom kissirtu u farraktu kull entita li bena from scratch il-LP.
SUR MINISTRU, GA QED TURI LI MALTEMP KBIR GEJ GHAL HADDIEMA

"The ministry said that on Sunday, Ms Coleiro Preca complained that the committee had not met for a month, and she was not happy with the way things were going. The speech, the ministry said, was aggressive and insulting."

If the committee did not meet for a month over such an urgent matter, how does the ministry expect the people to feel?!? Does the ministry know that they are actually insulting the citizens with their dragging of feet ?

Marie-Louise said that the opposition, quote "COULD have opted to sit on the fence". At least sitting on a fence is less harmful than instigating the maltese not to fly Air Malta because the planes are "Ghasafar tac-comb". Can the minister see the difference between what Marie-Louise complained about and the PN opposition tried to do to harm the Labour government of that time? The DUTY of every Maltese is NOT TO HARM in any way whatsoever what belongs to our country.

We hope that this situation is not going to end as in the case of the Drydocks. All Malta's assets are being given in the hands of foreigners. A lot of revenue is going out of the country due to heavy mismanagements, Malta became mostly dependent on the peoples' taxes.

What does the Ministry want - a party to share the blame for the gross incompenencies by Government appointed Chairmen , Boards and CEOS with not even HR audits, let alone direction through out these last 20 years ?

"The speech.............was insulting." You know what was insulting Tonio? The increase in the cost of living which you gave us, that was an insult in the opinion of thousands. The thing is that you inherited a money spinner from the Labor govt and you managed to turn it into a liability.
