    Why is the guy from BVI Airport Authority who sealed the deal not going with them? These people take all the praise for themselves. If it was something negative he would of been thrown under the bus and these politicians would stare clear of it.. where is the fairness in this place mahn

      If it is so...that's what he's paid for. So really he should be complimented for doing a good job. Don't think it's his place to travel with the team.
