Sad, but true. Got the news from the people involved. "National Interest"? Isn't it more of a national interest when our own Philippine Air Force are losing pilots to our local carriers? Why not have the government act on that first. Who will defend our skies if we dont have pilots. No offense who came from the PAF (we all have our reasons for leaving - but that will be another topic), but this will be more of a national interest than the "Personal/National Interest of Airline Owners"?
If somebody here have a direct contact to any poltician or the Zambo Rep himself. Please point this out to them/him.
