Well they ran us all off......the expats.........serves them right:D

No, they got rid of the contractors, CP still has expat pilots.

Why is it when a contractor takes a job on a limited contract they somehow feel they are entitled to that job for as long as they want? :rolleyes:

Cebu are advertising

Having in mind their contract conditions, duration to convert all docs
and pass all govt procedures (2-3 months in general), no doubt only the DESPERATE Capts would still want to fly with Cebu.

The outcome is on the photo above.

It is one of the WORST managed airlines I ever saw. No one wants to take responsilbility for anything.

The crew was local, 100% filipino.
