There is more of the world than such sh**thole run by sh**t heads.
Isn't that country turning out to be a communist state on planning of restricting people from leaving?

Here are my advises:
1. Keep on building flying time
2. Take the ATPL exams, even if you dont have plans of activating it yet, at least when the time comes, all you need is a check ride
3. Read on Jeppesen charts
4. Read FAA books, Gleims or ASA
5. Keep your logbooks tidy and in order
Good luck!

1998 All Over Again
It's 1998 all over again. We've got a senior pilot asking for action to improve working conditions but apparently he has a back up plan (working as expat in another airline) in case the **** hits the fan. Unlike the junior guys he is so "concerned" about who are not qualified for anything else right now. I've seen that happen before in 1998.

No storm signal
Most probably the latter....i'm sure it's not the storm season back there. There are no storm signals whatsoever. In fact it's summer there now, very hot & humid indeed!
So i guess there's no storm coming....
More likely...as you said...NINGAS COGON!

take that contract now
not everyone in the narrow bodies (B737 and A320) are hampered from moving out of PAL because of a training contract.make a break for it and then once you've racked up your wealth(read:big dollar account in your philippine bank), go back to PAL.believe that years from now when you decide to come back PAL will still have a position to fill because the pool of possible applicants is getting smaller.not all Military,Gen Av pilots are leaning to a PAL career(well, maybe a jet rating) & PAL Avschool is never gonna go back to the old fly now-pay later scheme as they will be at the losing end if their 1.9M-Peso grads take off to foreign jobs leaving them in the dirt so the Av School wont supply much of the company pilot demand.

forget CX
forget about CX...they hire only nationals of former british colonies.
there is a pinoy there but this guy was born & raised in canada.
some pinoy pilots have a standing acknowledged application there for B747 cargo F/O based elsewhere like LAX but they haven't answered anyone in years.

Navitimer,
"80 hrs a month which is a killer." On which planet have you been for the past few years? Have you heard of the LCCs where all the pilots (including most of the management pilots) fly up to 100 hrs a month with no overtime pay and no crew meals. That's hard work! But the LCCs have at least got the mix correct. The more you fly the more you earn and they don't have an army of people back in the Head Office to feed. Everyone works hard and that's why they prosper. The likes of PAL, Garuda etc are time limited - being kept alive artificially by their governments through all kinds of direct and indirect subsidies. Actually, come to think of it, the same is true of United, American etc in the US who are so broke that Bush had to bail them out.
