Note: I never have flown on either BWIA (which is now Caribbean Airlines but was also known as Bee-Wee back when it was BWIA) or Pacific Western so I really cannot comment concerning these carriers.....but I was tickled by the nickname for PWA!
PWA was also dubbed "Please Wait Awhile" but I always found them reliable enough. In that part of the world there are always going to be occasional IRROPS.
