which side are you reallywannabepilot?
to those pilots that participated in this exodus, good for you! hope you have a brighter future ahead of you. AND if that company you're with right now is worse than PAL, then GO leave that company again, then leave and leave again UNTIL no other airline will take you in. There is a word called 'LOYALTY', or even if you guys have made up your mind, at least have the decency to have a 30day notice, any other job in the world needs a 2wk notice for resignation, what more with an airline as undermanned as PAL FD is. No matter what your frustrations are with the management. Resignation is not just filing your letter and leaving, or filing for indefinite leave and not reporting ever again. Sad to say there were a lot of us looking up to you guys for your wisdom.
I am a PAL employee, and PAL isn't the best airline out there, they are not the most pro-employee company, but they pay better than CEBPAC, ZEST, or any other local airline! Working conditions at CEBPAC is worse than ours!
Yes Beda isn't the best boss, but PAL has been the one feeding our families for years, decades to some! You don't just run and leave like that!
For those arguing security of tenure, tell that to the 8k PAL employee when PAL closes down once again. And this time if it does, let's see if anyone would want to invest any money for a company that has an overhead way above the ceiling, everyone complaining and each department asking for salary increase when airfare are as low as it can get, seat capacity less than 80% full and cargo diminished as well.
For those BALAGBAG boys, PAL has a 10yr contract with LTP until SEPT 2010, you can look for it in PAL'S website,
