Liars! Liars! Liars!
Mr. Bautista, where did you get your figures that senior pilots receive $4,000-$7,000? Wake up, this is 2006! The current rate is 1US$ = 52.xx. And please dont make it appear that Mr. Tan bought $1.5million worth of training planes for a noble cause. Its business! you said it yourself, PAL Av School wants to produce about 50 ab initio pilots a year, thus, at P1.9 million per student = P95million. So the investment of $1.5million(P78million) makes good sense. Its a business strategy & not a noble cause as you claim that Mr. Tan has done so much for Phil Aviation. You want a noble cause? Bring back the scholarship in Av School.
