History Lesson

Yes Cessna1052, EY is the 2 letter code for Etihad.Was giving moral support for our colleagues in PAL & the other airlines in Philipines.
MAS (my former employer) had the same problem.You had LT & we had TR.Both were suckers.......sucking money from a company which was not fully theirs in equity.Don't worry, with the exodus of local pilots overseas & the shortage of qualified pilots in our region,something is bound to break,hopefully it will not take a crash before anything is done (god forbid!).MAS gave their pilots a pay rise recently, even after they were bleeding money (through management incompetence) as they know they will lose more if they didn' t pay them close to market rates.
So there will be light at the end of the tunnel, however our colleagues in Philipines must be united & not fall to the endless tricks.At the end of the day, a line must be drawn.Some of us did & we never regretted it.
Good luck again guys!
