Keep digging on this one one gents, I for one will be interested to know the full (well, as near to full as we get) course of events.
The Guam CFIT and lucky escape didn't receive anywhere near the publicity it should have.
Phillipine Airlines KNEW that they were replacing their experienced pilots with INexperience when they replaced them during the strike a couple of years ago.
They did long term, inestimable damage with an industrial decision that has - and obviously still does now - have an economic impact.
A negotiated settlement with the then workforce would have been a far, far cheaper option than this perilous course they are now treading.
Scab labour might seem like the quick fix, but a pilot who needs to scab to obtain/maintain employment generally does so because he is unemployable elsewhere.
As cheap as PAL are selling their tickets for now, I for one, no longer fly with them, nor will allow my family to, because of the SAFETY factor.
