Infact the yahapalana stooges are just here to carry out this...But lets not get into that here. Afterall we are here to discuss srilankan aviation
    So you're arguing that it is in fact the IMF that came after Sri Lanka and begged us to take their money? What a load of tosh.

    Its simple economics, Rajapakse trashes the economy by stealing and building grand vanity projects that have all ended up as a white elephants with zero economic return. So then he buggers off and someone else has to come pick up the pieces. Drastic measures are need to fix whats left. Fixing it is unpopular so this government will be voted out and then Rajapakse will return to trash it again.

    Same thing happened in 2002-2004. Only then it was Chandrika who had trashed the economy. The SLFP's left leaning economic policies have always crippled the economy.

    And mind you the current spate of strikes is being caused by non other than Rajapakse, he is using all his means to undermine the current government via his various cats paws in the trade unions. Anyone who argues otherwise is blind. Him and his cohorts are so desperate to get back to power and begin the stealing an intimidation all over again.

    I for one prefer to live in an country where there is no fear if you speak against the government. During the MaRa regime people could not even have a casual conversation over a meal and drink for fear of being overheard and threatened or worse arrested or even worse disappeared.

    People have forgotten what it was like, short memories.

    I agree to an extent that the government is weak, they need to take a stronger stance on trade unions. The majority of the country doesnt want trade unions or to be held hostage to them. The state sector is 1.5 million people, the country is 20 million. What we need is Thatcherism, smash the trade unions. The state sector is bloated and inefficient, fire the lot of them.

    I am not going to get into a pointless argument but your claim that it is the IMF who came to us is just laughable. Just another way the MaRa's and Wimal's of the world try to divert attention. It is all a foreign conspiracy.

    No my friend, the conspiracy is within.

The number of strikes is a direct reflection of the arrogance of these "yahapalana" jokers and their stubborn actions in carrying out the agenda of their financial backers (read I.M.F)... its come to the point that it affecting even our basic services and the puppet of a president is powerless other than to take make knee jerk reactions... in any case its really sad for Srilanka as a country that its come to the point its affecting our aviation sector and we have to discuss this sadly on our aviation forum
      Hi Mahinda, hope retirement is treating you well. Lets try get back on topic here..

            So, I guess you are one of those who are still blaming George W. for the current upheavals in the US economy?

Well thats fine...but hang on a second mate... didnt these yahapalana do-gooders come into power saying they will fix everything they are economic experts, etc, etc and common masses will be saved?? Look what's happened now? Can you honestly say it is better now than before Jan 8th 2015?
                Looking inwards does not mean blaming others...It mean what is the present situation and how did we get here and how can we get out of it without blaming others like making statement like "it is foreign conspiracy"

                Second yes I blame previous GOSL for the current situation of UL; which had made the company completely unviable to operate

                Third I blame the current administration for not taking any actions on the wrongdoing and not taking on the unions...basically inept

                And you've got the whole IMF story confused. Its true this govt needs the IMF for its survival but IMF also has their agenda in offering these loans.

                I am pretty comfortable with information what I have about the IMF...thank you for useless info.

                politics is very much intertwined with UL. Until such a time that state/GOSL relinquish its controls and shareholding

                    4R-AND is coming Sri Lanka on 28 Jul as per skyliners. Some one confirm if it's correct please.

                            What upheaval? The US economy has been growing for the last 7 years and unemployment is at record lows.
