Mahubay to all My Pares and Mares and very merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all.
I have flown to the Phillipines and visited many times and had the pleasure to work with many professionals from this lovely country.
Firstly I think that the hospitality shown to visitors is tremendous and I have always been made to feel welcome.
Secondly the engineers and pilots I have worked with are possibily the hardest working people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Additionally they rarely complain and put up with a hell of a lot. To top it all the engineers really know their stuff and will always try their best to rectify a defect ASAP.
I reckon it is the culture created by greedy management that leads to engineers and pilots to become dissillusioned, sad, slipshod, angry and ambivalent. If management and owners treat their staff like crap, pay crap they will never have world class standards even though they really have hardworking, sincere, talanted world class people.
Happy holidays,
Wooblah.
