Hello Ninetyeighter
IT TOOK YOU 12 YEARS TO CONCEAL YOUR ANGER.
very good in anger management.
we were together in 1998.
we tried to make both ends meet, sacrificed a lot, never knew what the future hold.
we were lucky our family supported us.
looking to our HARDCORE brothers who are jobless up to now. we were lucky( i presume) that we we landed a job for our family's welfare.
in fairness to these pilots who resigned, some of them were not yet ALPAP members in 1998.
it's typical PAL style, cover up their failures by creating mess, lugi daw, then attribute it to pilot's greed when the going gets rough and tough.
SAME OLD STORY.
if you note the column of Mr. Macasaet in Malaya,( a paper which supossedly known for truthfullness),
i am puzzled he calls the resignation as strike when in fact there is no PAL PILOT Union to speak of, which the PAL Mr. Jimmy Bautista acknowledged.
read also Mr. Macasaet interpretation of FASAP issue.
is Mr. Macasaet lawyering for PAL?
it only shows how supposedly a veteran media person/journalist ,DILUTE the facts,for whatever purpose he wants to achieve.
is Mr. Macasaet under the spell of LT?
these pilot's who resigned are fortunate that we have "BULATLAT" paper who are very unbiased in their reporting.
FACTS WILL ALWAYS BE FACTS.
hopefully, renowned columnists in"PHILIPPINE DAILY TRIBUNE" and " PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER" will follow suit.
to give all well meaning journalist a clue,
a respected individual now in the government regulatory body, who was former PAL management pilot, will tell you that as per judicial orders or amicable settlement or whatever it is.
"REDUNDANT" meant to this respected individual MILLIONS of pesos in damages.
Respected JOURNALISTS , kindly chech your archives.
We knew then in 1998 , that if we fail, OUR ALPAP will be busted , which PAL were successful,then PAL will be willing and able to IMPOSE their will on ALL PAL employees.
12 years is so short a time that all of our INSECURITIES then are REALIZED.
GOOD LUCK to ALL of YOU WHO WILL HAVE THE COURAGE to do what is MORALLY RIGHT.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE LIFE AFTER PAL.
