~ Airport COO steps in and save the day with extra firefighters.~
AIRPORT: Firefighters at the Princess Juliana International Airport are currently on sickout on Sunday morning causing a category to drop as there are not sufficient firefighters on duty. Due to this action, certain categories of aircraft cannot land either take off this morning.
SMN News learned that the firefighters decided to take action because they were not paid their 100% bonus payment. According to information received management of PJIAE offered to pay its firefighters 35% of their bonus in a meeting held last week but the proposal was rejected.
