kurimaw: what pilot license do pal pilot use? phil atpl/cpl with foreign (faa, french or irish) validations. pal pilots with foreign licenses are looked upon with suspicion bec. they can easily go to other airlines. another one recessive policy or mentality pal possesses.
johhny kalbo banned circulation of free flight international magazine within flt ops premises bec pilots can look for jobs in this magazine.
so in short pal policy is the knowhow of pilots in pal should be confined to the bare minimum only to be able to fly in pal (local market). having better knowledge/abilities/skills is frowned upon.
so goes my point again that those who remain in pal deserve the pay they get, e.i. lower pay deserved by those with lesser abilities.
