@chairwrecker: Thanks for the advice. I have added that factor to my "school selection" process. I have also heard good news of flight schools in the south.
But I'm still going to a local flight school here in Luzon because of personal referrals and reasons. I won't start this season though, perhaps on October or November. Thanks again!
Hmmm.. Just to add some discussion to this thread.
After finishing PPL-CPL/IR and ME rating with roughly 250+ hours, (aside from flight instruction) what other aerial work can I apply for (specifically in the Philippines)?
Well, I am quite interested in banner towing, charter/air taxi, traffic watch, etc. Can anyone mention some companies hiring pilots for such services?
