ling cockpit computer systems, leading
to crashes while in the early take off
phase.
As everyone awaits the readout from
the flight data and cockpit voice recorders,
regional governments say they are
being responsible and cautious about the
use of and presence of the Max-8 in the
Caribbean.
Meanwhile, Guyana’s civil aviation
authority said that while no airline currently
flies such planes to the country,
an application from Caribbean Airlines
to use the plane later this year has been
placed on hold.
“The GCAA has taken note of the aircraft
type involved, the Boeing 737 Max
8, the same type of aircraft which was
involved in a similar accident less than
six months before. In similar fashion,
all passengers on board perished. Both
crashes are under investigation however,
similarities between the incidents have
prompted caution among some aviation
authorities and airlines”, the statement
said.
Cayman Air, the first in the wider
CARICOM grouping of nations to operate
the Max aircraft, has also slapped a
ban on the bigger sister- the Max-9- banning
both from landing or overflying as
of Tuesday of this week.
“Given the similarity of the two accidents,
the Civil Aviation Authority of the
Cayman Islands has decided as a precautionary
measure in the public interest
that operations by Boeing 737-8 MAX
and Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft in the
airspace of the Cayman Islands should
not take place until appropriate safeguards
are in place.”
Minister of Tourism, Moses Kirkconnell
threw cabinet’s weight behind the
temporary ban saying that “we fully support
the safety measures implemented
by our national flag carrier and now the
CAACI.”
The ban will affect flights from Southwest,
United and Jet Blue, all of which
had operated the Max into the Cayman
Islands in the past year.

ney’s office into a model of progressive
prosecution that keeps the public safe
and strengthens community trust by
ensuring fairness and equal justice for
all,” Gonzalez said.
“We will move away from overreliance
on incarceration, engage all
stakeholders as partners in justice,
focus resources on those who do the
most harm and make my office more
strategic and mission-driven,” he
added.
The Brooklyn DA said he was “deeply
grateful to all of the people, many of
whom have personal experience within
the system – who helped develop this
comprehensive blueprint, which we
have already begun implementing.
“As we continue to reap the benefits
of historic decreases in crime here
in Brooklyn and across the country,
now is the time to focus on reforming
injustices in the system that have
led to over-reliance on incarceration
and a lack of trust in the criminal
justice system,” he said. “In many
cases, incarceration does not keep us
safer, and I am committed to shifting
to ways of holding people accountable
and increasing public safety that don’t
rely on incarceration as the default
option.”
Gonzalez said the panel of experts
that led the process to study, create and
select these reforms was led by Medgar
Evers College President Dr. Rudy Crew
and former Chief Judge of the State of
New York Jonathan Lippman.
Gonzalez said he plans to make
measurable progress towards enacting
all 17 recommendations of the Committee
by the end of 2020.
“Justice 2020 has the potential to
transform the relationship between
communities and the criminal justice
system,” Dr. Crew said. “At a time when
communities lack faith in law enforcement
to keep them safe and treat them
fairly, Justice 2020 envisions a partnership
between the Brooklyn DA’s office
and the communities it serves that
gives communities a real voice in what
safety and justice should look like in
their neighborhoods.
