PAL requirement

That is if you can take a salary that low (F/O will make less than a cabin crew from Cathay or Emirates, about $900 net/mo.) & bond yourself w/out depreciation for 5 years for every training you get.
r2d2rebel,

I had a talk with a friend who is an S/O in PAL to clarify this, the requirement for S/O is 500 hours BUT it must be on an aircraft with at least a 500HP engine. Anything less than that will be considered 50% only. Meaning if you fly a single or a light twin having with an engine below 500hp, you must have at least 1,000 hours to be considered. F/O is 1,200 hours ( 500+hp engine). Hope this helps.
