Show Notes

My name is Kimberly Cummins, and I'm a research student in the Department of History, Philosophy, and Psychology at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus. For Caribbean travellers, getting from one island to another often feels like navigating a maze, to the point that many of them long for a time when they can finally get seamless options that allow them to island hop for work, family, or leisure without the stress of delays or high fares. Just over a decade ago, on this day, November 6, 2013, many were again left holding a big rock as loads of passengers of the regional carrier LIAT found themselves stranded at the Grantley Adams International Airport due to a pilot strike.
