great move! why just now? we, filipinos, are really a resilient race. our threshold for suffering is really mystifying. the trouble at CA had been there since long ago. time to act or react is long overdue. make it happen, jv. consolidate your forces!
the proper venue is with the European Union courts. not here. you know why.
the great news, they hired a filipino pilot from cebu pac. whats the difference, who they hire, we still havent graduated.
when will that be???????????????????????????????????????????????? ????
we have an appointment tomorrow with bir regarding the income there, at least if they investigate maybe we can get rid of MW, PW & all the other W's here
Sky I am not so sure you are a student. The BIR issue is a joke. The new management is all Pinoy as it should be. To all students please give new GM a chance. In addition, lawsuits only make the lawyers rich - period. As a goody but oldy pilot you do not have to suffer through the 1500 hours on your own - so lets relax take deep breath and work through it. New GM is MT and he is sharp young man.....................

I dont really care where he s from... if he does a good job, then its good, if he doesnt well then.... ssdd... And he has to give us a chance and not forget how delayed we are.... this is not the time to step back and relax just cause he s pinoy and cebu pac... but we ll see right
we All know the BIR is a joke but if he wants to intertain himself, why not... hehe..
New GM a 5J Senior?? Really?? If so, great!! let's paint the CA walls 5J colors! That's what CA needs, a fresh start.... however, somewhere, somehow. Not being sarcastic.. Lets get the ball rolling there folks!! Cadets there want to fly!! Please help them Sir Captain!
ey guys just wondering how many batch had CAA certified already?or are there any? just curious because i think a friend of mine (ms.C. Tuadles) is training there. is she through with the training? i herd her saying that he is goin there for the A320 thing before i left the PI? anyhow to all you guys good luck and always watch your six.
Now that there is an ATR in the 5J family, would the scholars accept an F/O position entry level there? I know the program did advertise the A320 as the entry equipment after qualification from the MPL program. (or at the very least an interview for the A320) Bottom line argument is seniority system. Roster list for the ATR is growing. A number of pilots (seniors and juniors) are now contemplating to support the idea for ATR as the new entry point for new hires, regardless of scholars or direct entry. Comments anyone?
FStripes, I am not too familiar with the MPL program, but isn't there a way that these students of the MPL be allowed to enter Cebu Pacific through its ATR? I mean if they are truly qualified to operate an Airbus after graduating the program, I am sure that they are more than capable of flying the ATR.
The pilots that enter Cebu via the ATR begin with at least 700 hours. How would they feel if someone, who entered with hours less than theirs, occupies the right seat of the 320? I am pretty sure that they would not be happy...and it's not about the amount of money that the MPL cadets have dished out because a lot of the new ATR pilots have shelled out their fair share of moolah and sweat just so that they could start this wonderful career of being an airline pilot. I just think that that would be fair. That's just my opinion of course.
But for the cadets, I wish you the very best in this career that you have chosen. Hit the books and study hard so that it pays off well in the future. Try to stay away from these forums because it's what it is...a forum...a place where facts and hear say (chizmiz) get intertwined, and end up as convoluted matters. In short, if your just starting an aviation career, start it by learning all the basics, and not getting involved in issues as to who did right or wrong in CA. Good luck and have fun flying.
just incase everyone's wondering where everybody is:
courses 1 & 2 - recently started their multi crew cooperation course (few more steps until the A320 type rating training)
courses 3 & 4 - under Omni, a few have already completed core flying with the majority in the IFR phase of the core flying
course 5 - still in core flying, everyone has already flown solo
courses 6 & 7 - still in core flying, majority still flying pre-solo duals
courses 8/9/10 - was told to take another month off due to the log jam at the flying school
course 11 - on vacation, completed ground school almost a month ago
