hi flyboy/try pal instead they desparately need pilots for the new 3 a320 if they can't come up with its crew free trng from airbus will be forfeited, target date is june/// when you get in there gate1 greet all w/a SIR and never put an imaginary apples in your armpit:= especially if you are a tisoy, (not unless you are a group1 capt he he) and you'll be fine:)pay won't be as much as an a320 capt in india or somewhere else but you will get your type rating from gcat trng in hongkong,good for your resume when you go middle east.good luck...:)

Do cebu pacific hire western crew? I currently work for cathay regional out of Hong Kong and looking for a life style change. Whats the life style like, basings.

Womble006,

Mate, all I can say is ---- STAY WHERE YOU ARE and try for CX mainline when you get the chance.

womble... there needs to be a good injection of expat crews in the Philippines. Not only because of the need, but because of the experience levels and CRM. Or lack of it! exodus or no exodus... pinoy pilots need to be exposed to how other operators fly aircraft (with crm). Many guys here that arrive in the middle east or in other parts of asia become great pilots because they can adapt to the changing world of proffesional CRM, not what they are exposed to back at home.
PAL will not hire expats unless they pull their own head from their a..! Cebu pac... maybe! But don't hold your breath

wow its been a while, but does anyone have an inside as to what the min breakdown is? I know they want 1,500 tt but do they want anything else than tt.

Teepee and D6, thanks for the insights!

To Teepee
 

dude do you know how to put an aps in for PAL?

what requirements they lookign for? i think you must have college degree!

Insider's TIP
 

There are 4 brand-new ATR 72's arriving in November 07. Except for one Captain from Asian Spirit, absolutely NO ONE has expressed interest for pilots for the ATR's. I guess 1200tt, CPL/IR, a multi-engine rating will be good enough. There have been 2 student failures on the 320 lately, so expect your claimed flying time to be thoroughly VERIFIED. So hurry with your cv's and bring it to Elaine ASAP.:ok:

Who's Elaine?

Someone inside flight operations that you give your CV to.

brand new ATR 72s? nice..
thats a big challenge for asian and sea air.

anyone knows if ed novillas is still working with cebupac?
thanks

Hi Sirs,

This happens to be the first time I've heard SEAIR or Asian Spirit mentioned in these forums. I've been wondering, is there anyone out there who flies for these two? What's it like? Is it just a stepping stone to bigger things? Are they hiring pilots? What are the requirements? And of course, what's the pay like compared to PAL and/or Cebu Pac?

crm?
 

planestupid, dont really know what neck of the woods you fly in (dont even give a s#@t),but crm is as standard in ceb as in any airbus operation.most of us happen to have airbus factory training in airbus training center france or miami. judging by your previous posts, your last one on this thread is another planely stupid remark.

PS, are you sure of what you're posting? You've been burned by your posts before. Will hiring expats improve CRM in CP or any other airline here in the Philippines? Do you have the numbers to prove your case? Or is it just a case of "colonial mentality"? Please enlighten us.

Going to a different airline outside of the Philippines doesn't make one a great pilot. It just makes them more aware of the things they didn't bother to study and learn while they were flying here in the Philippines. In fact, I would say that some Pinoy pilots who were able to fly for some foreign airline are so full of themselves because they think they already know more than their counterparts here. I'm not referring to you PS because from what I think you are, you're nothing but second rate, trying hard...(calling you a copycat would be quite insulting to the cat).

navi,
please define a great pilot? if being a great pilot means working with real professionals and not back-stabbing fellows, having better pay, flying better planes and improved life status...then going to a different airline outside your own comfort zone does make one a great pilot.

some could be like that but all the ones that i know are very kind and very down to earth. and so what if someone knows more than oneself? i will not be bitter but be happy for them instead. that sure can be your motivation to gain more knowledge and experience.

but then, I disagree with the idea of expats working in the Phils. just to gain additional crm skills.

safe flight always guys,

RWH,

Definitely not me. But now that you asked, in my own opinion, a great pilot would be one who is willing to share one's experience to others and not use one's added knowledge in putting other people down. A great pilot is one who is responsible enough to acknowledge one's mistakes and doesn't blame others for his/her predicament. A great pilot is one who knows one's limitations, and makes sure that these limitations doesn't stop him/her from learning more. A great pilot is a true professional who thinks highly of people who are also professionals in their own right and does not demand respect but earns it. Greatness is in how others see you and not in how you see yourself.

I thank you for reacting to my post. We learn so many things in this life through the different people we meet, personally or fictitiously.
