arigato, sadly, may be correct. look what 5J management did to the engineers. promises promises so they won't go to Airphil, but up to now, no improvement. instead, MB hires expats who cost 10x more than the locals!
looking at that record, i think 5J will try to bluff their way into not giving in to most demands from the pilots, and some pilots will leave anyway. then the vacancies will be filled with expats who enjoy at least 5x higher salary+perks, and the pinoy pilots who decided to be loyal will still be waiting for their promised pay adjustments. what a shame....
