PCM 1 not good enough anymore?

[Habit7]

This morning I was about to leave the San Fernando General Hospital when everyone was trying to get a vantage point to see a helicopter landing (Min. of National Security Sikorsky S-76). I joked with my wife that I missed it but she told me that she didn't see the need for such excitement because one lands every Tuesday. No one came out save for the officers standing guard in the light rain. Only when I was going down Independence Av. I saw PCM 1 racing to the hospital. I realised I left my phone with my wife back at the hospital and when I got back she confirmed that it was the PM paying a visit to the hospital.

I think we need to rename Viper 1, Marine One.

'Crime-fighting helicopters new Govt taxi service'

HELICOPTERS originally meant to aid in local crime fighting have now become the new government taxi service, Opposition Member of Parliament Donna Cox has said.
Cox made the claim on Monday night moments before Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar arrived at the Divali Nagar site in Chaguanas by helicopter.
The Divali Nagar site officially opened on Sunday night in preparation for this year's Divali celebrations expected to be held on October 26.
Persad-Bissessar was the guest of honour on Monday night.
Cox chastised the Government's use of the helicopters during her contribution to the budget debate at the House of Representatives, Tower D, Waterfront Centre in Port of Spain.
The Public Sector Investment Programme for 2012 has stated that "the sum of $220 million is allocated for payments to be made on the contract for the construction of four Medium Twin-Turbine Helicopters".
"I observed that under the Ministry of National Security two helicopters were delivered to Trinidad and Tobago and commissioned in June 2011 while they are awaiting two more," Cox said.
"I want to raise something that is a concern to me and to the Ministry of National Security. I really hope that these helicopters will really be for the use of the Ministry of National Security and not for the Prime Minister to travel all over Trinidad and Tobago," Cox said.
"These helicopters are not for Cabinet transport, the members of the Defence Force are now calling the helicopters the new government taxi," Cox said.
Cox claimed that since the People's Partnership administration assumed office Persad-Bissessar has been seen travelling nationwide in helicopters.
The operational costs of the helicopters are too expensive to be utilised by the whim and fancy of the Cabinet, Cox said.
"The cost of operating these helicopters are very expensive, the cost to operate a helicopter is between $1,000 to $5,000 for one hour. $1000 - $5000 per hour just to operate the helicopter that is very expensive and it is observed that the Prime Minister lands here there and everywhere with the helicopters, Trincity, Arima, Diego Martin all over South (Trinidad)," Cox said.

I now going to paste this same article then I saw you did it. Not too long ago things like this would not be missed on this forum with the last government. It was real political noise about everything Manning do. Now real things does slide with nobody discussing it. I not too much into the political discussions but real people who use to be against sheit, now does stay real quiet. It sad, real sad.

Don't see the beat up, the head of a country should not be hampered in their performance of his/her duty by simple traffic.
But again i had no problem with Patos having a private jet, at the time the economy was booming, let Haiti and Guyanese commercial flights, a successful country and economy must be reflected by the standard of living of it's leaders and all citizens.
