Philippine Regulator UNSAFE/Dangerous and CORRUPT!
This new restriction is a continuation of pressure for the Philippines to clean up their act. Is that at all possible? To change? Hmmmmm
Is this fair? YES! Is it safe to fly with Philippine Carriers? The FAA doesn't seem to think so and neither do the 26 European countries according to EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas. He said in a statement today in Brussels “We cannot accept that airlines fly into the EU if they do not fully comply with international safety standards,”.
Fully comply with INTERNATIONAL SAFETY STANDARDS????? I thought all the pork barrel was paid na! Why doesn't this go away? We have more important things like the up coming presidential election soon.
To the average Filipino this doesn't make much difference. But to Lucio this is a kick in the balls! I won't be surprised if this is the beginning of the end for Papa Lucio in Aviation.
