here here, couldn't agree more. People will take more notice of your post Cessna if you construct fair arguments. Attacking peoples race and cultural differences just devalues your comments! You complain of racisicm yet a rascist is exactly what you are.

You should know the local laws before you open your computer. Here in RP a school must be minimum 60% Pinoy owned, Foreigners can only own Max 40% of any educational establishment.

The same stand for retail business but there the law is 100% Pinoy owned so how the concession could be given to a foreigner by a foreigner is something the SEC and CDC should look into, unless the foreigner running the restaurant has a Pinoy dummy which goes under anti dummy law.

Part of being in the Export zone and to enjoy tax privileges is employing locals. CA is not following that so they could loose their privileges but the problem then is CA would have to raise it's tuition fee.

The differens with the 10% RP population is that they go abroad and work hard for their families, they don't go abroad violating the laws hurting people, that is the difference, if we do something wrong abroad we deserve to be punished too.

Indian nationals are called Bombay's here, it's in the languague, not derogative and there are nothing wrong with the good ones following our laws but the ones braking the law should go home. Same as I'm sure you want Pinoys to follow the laws if they go and do business in India and elsewhere in the world.

And I agree, most important is for the school to live up to it's promise and that we will graduate.

Ps, If you don't show up to a meeting here it's called that you "Indian me". That is not racist, it's simply an expression.

In most civilised countries in the world that would be viewed as a rascist comment as it implies all indians are late!

you guys in the Philippines seem to have real problems! defarmation of people, just because you don't like them, seems to be below the belt line, joking about people is acceptable but not the way how you insult these people.

This shows that you are just kids who should play with toy planes.

If you guys did it the "normal" way...working your way up from ppl to cpl..gaining hours as flight instructor or charter pilots..you could been on the ATR by now, and saved MILLIONS of your Parents' hard-earned money. Moreover,...you would have established the most important factor in Airline Pilot employment- SENIORITY.

Has the Cessna 172s arrived yet ? I heard they were suppose to be glass cockpit like what PAL Av school is using.

The new management from Cebu Pac in CA now is a refreshing news. It's about time they've put in Filipinos who knows the aviation sector in this country. Goodluck to them. It is never easy handling people. They can't please everyone so just support them as I'm sure their intention is in your (the cadet's) best interest.

To all the cadets in CA, goodluck and Godbless. To Ex - thank you for all your support my friend. I wish you the best of luck. I know Cebu Pac would benefit from your maturity as an employee and as a pilot.

cheers

C&C Alpha Owners of Clark Aviation

READ MORE ON THE COMPANY "C&C Sons Alpha" THAT IS USING BIG TIME PHILIPPINE LAWYERS TO TAKE OVER THE WHOLE OF CLARK AVIATION (IAGDC) FROM THE FILIPINO PARTNERS

THEY ARE USING THE CADETS MONEY FOR THEIR OWN GAINS

BUYING THEIR FUTURE IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS IN THE UK WITH OUR PARENTS MONEY FROM THE PHILIPPINES

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article3876770.ece

Alpha Healthcare and Alpha Aviation was a donor to the Lib Dems. The company became the main corporate backer of the party with gifts of nearly £400,000. (P40 MILLION) The biggest gift of £125,000 came after the peerage was confirmed.

The ties between Lord Clement-Jones and Alpha Healthcare and Alpha Aviation appear to fly in the face of the Lib Dems’ motion at their 2001 conference that asked peers to refrain from professional lobbying. The Lib Dems’ federal executive regarded that request as “unenforceable”. It noted the safeguards in the Lords’ declaration of interest requirements and agreed to take no further action.

When The Times first began investigating Alpha Healthcare’s and Alpha Aviation's donations last autumn, a reporter visited the homes in London of the brothers Dhruv and Bhanu Choudhrie (YES HE HAS VISITED CLARK ON THE 13TH JULY 2006). They run C&C Alpha, a group of companies ultimately owned by entities registered in the tax havens of Guernsey and the British Virgin Islands. Alpha Healthcare and Alpha Aviation are part of the group.

Mr Black said that the first time one of C&C Alpha’s companies became a client was in February 2006. Alpha Healthcare and Alpha Aviation a major money lender and Shareholder in IAGDC (Clark Aviation) in the Philippines went on its books in September 2007. Alpha Healthcare’s donations to the Lib Dems began in March 2004 and ended in May 2007, according to Electoral Commission records.

The brothers’ spokesman, Eben Black, called The Times to say that he represented C&C Alpha. Mr Black is also head of media at the global government relations department of DLA Piper, a multinational law firm that offers lobbying services. Lord Clement-Jones is the department chairman.

DLA Piper said it provides media relations services to the Choudhries’ group of companies.

Mr Black said that the first time one of C&C Alpha’s companies became a client was in February 2006. Alpha Healthcare and Alpha Aviation went on its books in September 2007. Alpha Healthcare’s donations to the Lib Dems began in March 2004 and ended in May 2007, according to Electoral Commission records.

Lord Clement-Jones makes no declaration concerning C&C Alpha in the House of Lords register of interest of clients for whom he provides parliamentary services. He said: “I do not act personally for C&C Alpha.” The Lib Dem party treasurer denied that there was a conflict of interest in his roles as treasurer, parliamentarian and lobbyist. “Members of the C&C Alpha Group happen to be both donors to the Liberal Democrats and clients introduced by me to DLA Piper,” he said. “I would ask why the firm should not provide professional services to them, whether legal or media relations services.”

C&C Alpha Group has positioned itself to grow alongside this industry with the acquisition of aviation related companies in strategic global locations including Clark Aviation in the Philippines. Its vision is to set-up 9 new international aviation academies in Asia and Middle East to address the acute shortage of pilots, engineers, cabin crew and other aviation personnel. It will also have one flight training school in UK to cater to the European market and leverage on the cost advantages of training eligible European students in Asia.

C&C Alpha and the REAL OWNERS of Alpha Aviation

VERY INTERESTING

Lib Dems accused over donor link to company in offshore tax haven - Times Online

Alpha Healthcare and Alpha Aviation's ultimate parent company is Harberry Investments, which is based in Tropic Isle Building on the island of Tortola. Harberry’s turnover and tax payments remain hidden because the company is based in an offshore haven where businesses do not have to declare their accounts publicly.

Bhanu Choudhrie and his brother Dhruv are listed as shareholders in Harberry and shareholders in Alpha Aviation where they have nominee Directors Cherian Thomas and Pritam Singh, according to Companies House. They are Indian citizens and have “nondomicile” status, according to one colleague.

This means that they can, if they wish, avoid British tax on any income or gains from their overseas assets.

Bhanu Choudrie, 29, is registered as the owner of a £4.4 million (P418 Million Philippine Peso's) flat in Cadogan Square, Chelsea. The charge of the flat is registered with HSBC in Jersey, another offshore haven.

He is co-director of the mobile phone company Hybyte Solutions and Services, which was fined by the industry watchdog for sending out hundreds of unwanted text “jokes” for £1.50 each.

Dhruv Choudrie, 32, has an apartment in a private road in Kensington. In 2004 he was reported to have fallen victim to a conman’s sting when he ordered a Ferrari 360 Spyder, paying a 10 per cent deposit. He forwarded more cash and ended up losing £84,000. Both men are unmarried and were said to be in India yesterday.

This year’s donation from Alpha Healthcare and Alpha Aviation is the biggest received from a private business since the businessman Michael Brown gave £2.4 million through 5th Avenue Partners in 2005. Mr Brown, 41, is to appear in court this month in connection with an alleged multimillion-pound series of frauds and is also charged with perverting the course of justice and transferring criminal property.

C&C Alpha and CT The New CEO of Clark Aviation

http://www.the-scream.co.uk/forums/t21290-3.html

JOKE'S ON PEST TEXTER
Penman & Sommerland 15/02/2007

* More Investigates

PREMIUM-line pest Cherian Thomas doesn't know when he's taken a joke too far.

Last summer, his outfit Hybyte Solutions and Services Ltd was slapped with a £25,000 fine for sending dodgy joke text messages.

Nearly 100 people complained to watchdog ICSTIS that the joke was on them - they hadn't asked for the text but were charged £1.50 for each one.

Hybyte was also ordered to pay back everyone and barred from running the service for six months.

But the jokes - one a week - kept on coming.

Hybyte claimed it hadn't sent them but another 86 victims stepped forward to complain - and ICSTIS backed them up.

Call logs showed the jokes started before the ban was in place but continued after it kicked in on June 15.

This time round, Hybyte has been fined another £10,000, barred for two years from the service and ordered to pay back the latest victims.

Thomas, 47, who started Hybyte in 2000 and his codirectors are Bhanu Choudhrie, 28, and Matthew Barbieri, 38, are all from London.

They've been given a formal reprimand by ICSTIS - their fifth - along with nearly £50,000 fines, in the past 12 months.

Times on line

Sidsrover,

Re the Times on line article; Pritam Sing may be non domiciled as far as India and UK are concerned but he was until recently (and may still be) involved with Prescient and its parent Singapore Technologies and resident in SIN. I wonder if the Singapore authorities are aware of this business interest?

Both Pritam and the Chowdries were involved to a greater or lesser extent with Mark Pearson when the funding was being found for Alpha and Clark Aviation. Sadly for the people who have invested their future in the school I see little hope of an improvement in their fortunes as a result of this development.

It is also unfortunately a fact that the Clark Aviation MPL will have no credibility in the industry and graduates (if there ever are any) will struggle to find acceptance when they try to convert their license.

Some of the comment on this long running thread has only increased the scepticism of impartial observers - racially biased rants do not endear people to those involved in pilot selection procedures in an increasingly international and multi cultural workforce.

Sadly for those involved it may be time to cut losses and get proper training if you want to salvage your career. Yes, I know that is unwelcome advise - I wish it were also incorrect but....

Chenin Thomas

Check the Directors of Hybyte and you will see that is clearly Cherian Thomas

Just a spelling mistake

Hybyte is a UK Company

Good Luck
