womble... there needs to be a good injection of expat crews in the Philippines. Not only because of the need, but because of the experience levels and CRM. Or lack of it! exodus or no exodus... pinoy pilots need to be exposed to how other operators fly aircraft (with crm). Many guys here that arrive in the middle east or in other parts of asia become great pilots because they can adapt to the changing world of proffesional CRM, not what they are exposed to back at home.
PAL will not hire expats unless they pull their own head from their a..! Cebu pac... maybe! But don't hold your breath
