Comedy of Errors; read that one last October, Philippine Daily Inquirer. There was even a part 2, about the dilemma of our tower controllers.
10 months after being CAAP, what has changed so far? Virtually NOTHING!!!
Salary is still an issue and will not be resolved anytime soon. The poor technical personnel (controllers, technicians and communicators) are still poor. The reason, safety division is asking for a whopping 0.5 million annual allowance (allowance pa lang yan). Some of them aren't even check pilots and yet demanding flying pay of 500k. Yes, those nice, friendly and efficient people behind the desk who you ask about your license will be earning big money
To think, the main reason of changing from ATO to CAAP is to upgrade the technical services.
