airline reality
it is true, that the philippines is short of pilots,
however, it does not mean if u have finished college and finished PPL CPL and IR rating that we can land a job in the airline industry, even if u are a flight instructor with thousands of hours on your belt. it is still hard to land a job in the philippine avaiation industry...
the harsh reality of General Avaiation in the philippines is that most of the time " dapat mey kapit" or u know someone who will help u out in landing a good job in avaition. it is still hard work...
im not hear to discourage aspiring pilots... i am an aspiring pilot myself, using all my call center salary just to finance my flying tuition... to me it is a comitment in knowing what is out there and facing no matter what happens.
knowing all this, if ur still willing to give it a go.... then for me the person who does deserves to be a pilot no matter what aircraft or flying job that would present itself to us in the future...
long live philippine pilots!!!
