hello again...
i already made my resume and gave it to my dad, he'll send it to someone and see if i can get a recommendation or what once he comes back. he met up with some PAL pilots when he was here and they told him there's already a batch scheduled to start next month. if ever, i hope to make it on the next batch that would be applying early next year.
my dad doesn't talk about PAL to us in the family at all ever since the time he left for his new employer and his retirement after 18 years in PAL is something like 3 months of my current salary at the call center (he did manage to get the last of his non-priority plane tickets for the family). i showed him this thread and he just shook his head (with a smile) when he saw those three initials you were mentioning.
