    I know her and she is a very nice lady. Always looking for ways for us to perform better on the job. She just approved several initiatives for us at the MET office. I really need to know what this lady could have done. I don’t see her being direspectful although behind doors we don’t know what’s going on. But from what we know, she is a very professional and kind person. It is sad. I hope our incentives will be approved now that she is gone.

    You sound like sh*t

    What could Wendy possibly do to make her be forced to resign. Such a docile woman with a soft spoken voice and tender spirit. The demons got agitated by her spirit and they asked her to leave. Such a high turnover at the airport. That is not good

    another on bites the dust, Gaston and chief of staff is doing a clean-up. Question lingers, Who’s next?

    MAX Fernandez cannot control this one. The first woman was fired by Gaston. They said she was rude and insubordinate. Is it the same with this one? I wonder what is so specific about running V.C Bird that nobody but MAX and GASTON and the rest of the cabal can properly manage.

    At the risk of sounding prejudiced, let me ask…. Why are our ports, airport included, run by people who are not native, highly qualified, competent Antiguans? Are there none? Heavens forbid!

  • Nadia May 29, 2025, 10:32 AM

    Max Fernandez fired her. Antigua.news don’t be afraid to say this. Don’t protect these ministers.
