Fish & Chips, I think the fact that the guy has been living in the islands for long means he should know his tagalog, but really who cares? if you really believe what you say that this is a rumor network, then your defending him should also be taken with a grain of salt, shouldnt' it?
anyway, just to move this thread forward, my caap connections tell me that they have been mighty impressed with the performance of ALL the MPL cadets in the sim checks. of course we all know that is not "all-conclusive" in the sense that the real test is on line. in that regard, the Cebu cadets have been proving the MPL very well, in fact so well that there is talk of possibly decreasing the number of TAGS. that should be welcome news for Cebu Pacific and of course, the cadets.
well it's been 6 months since the first MPL guys graduated, and Cebu now has around 20 MPL cadets chasing their flight hours (i wonder what the FOs in Cebu really feel about that? i hear most, if not all 5J senior pilots are supportive of the venture, though.)
also, i am not sure if that has been brought up in this thread, but non cebu guys only need to do the TAGS to get the MPL even without an airline partner. i was pleasantly surprised with that news, but it seems to me in the way they talked that it's really old news. can anybody confirm? if so, what CA only needs is an airline TAGS provider.
