Howdy everyone, I couldn't really have any sympathy for these airlines if they don't pay their pilots what at least the current market price is paying. A friend of mine who is an S/O with the A330 told me what he was getting and I nearly fell off my chair. Way I look at it, they are as qualified as any other pilots in the world.
I guess the economy of the Philippines would have a lot to do to dictate this ( pay ).
Anyway, someone said that they are not getting paid on time or getting paid at all, thus the Exodus to other airlines. Apparently a Malaysian company went to the country a few months ago recruiting pilots from PAL and other sources. So, there you go.... we really couldn't blame them ( pilots )can we for defecting ?

E6b, what brought on this "clearance" to renew their licenses ?

Do you need to renew your license in the Philippines every now and then or do you mean the instrument rating ?
I always thought that the license has no expiry date except what your medical exam would reveal or renewing your IR.
