Let's hope that PAL's troubles will not affect us all here in Cebu.

naay presscon sa NBN/GNN on it now
the pilots should be sued for breaking their contracts.
But this is PAL's problem. the government should stay away from this!!!
I totally Agree..
I can blame PAL's Lucio Tan mismanagement
The PAL A320 pilots breaking the contract is totally against the law.. mura lang bitaw para sa atoa, optional ang balaod..
I wonder if Cathay (CX) is still interested in PAL...
Remember the same events happen in 1998 when Cathay Pacific of Hong Kong was totally interested of acquiring 40% stake of PAL (PR).. but it only ended into a 14 day agreement in which Cathay operated the domestic and international flights of PR temporarily..

INTERNATIONAL BRIEFS; Cathay Pacific to Run Philippine Airlines
Anyway, at the end of the day... If I choose between Cebu Pacific (5J) wave of promos compare to PR top service.. I rather take PR bahalag mahal gamay... puryagaba jud ako nabasahan sa mga blogs bahin sa 5J halos walay paki sa customer ang 5J labi ma delay or ma cancel imu flight..
if this is about salaries and benefits, why does cebupacs pilots aren't complaining. do they have bigger salaries than of pal? i think there's more to this so called uprising and mass resignation. or maybe cebupacs contract is more tighter than of pals' that's why they can't complain...![]()
Ang naka sipyat sa A320 pilot sa PR kay wala nila gi proper pamagi ug pag resign... instead nag rebelde naman ug style..
heres a nice article to ponder regarding this issue....
Why does world billionaire Lucio Tan
have such a troubled airline?
Why is world billionaire Lucio Tan having continuous labor trouble but only in one of his companies – Philippine Airlines?
Why is the trouble with PAL erupting again at the start of a new presidency, just like it did when Joseph Estrada assumed office in 1998? Is there a ploy to make the new government look helpless once more and to extract concessions from this situation, just like Lucio Tan was able to do with Estrada?

Forgive me. I’m highly suspicious of recent events involving PAL. Its pilots resign en masse and PAL management simply cancels flights, stranding hundreds of angry businessmen all over the Philippines.
Could that be regarded as an abandonment of its legislative franchise or a hostage-taking of the new government? Failure to resolve this soon would reflect badly on the new government. Lucio Tan – with an estimated net worth of US$1.7 billion (or 78 billion pesos) according to Forbes’ March 2010 rich list – cannot resolve this problem to ensure his airplanes continue to fly. Or is the plan NOT to let his airplanes fly?
The salaries that the pilots were earning are peanuts to Lucio Tan.
You know how big a US$1.7 billion fortune is? It’s really hard to imagine. But let’s compare. Last year, the Philippine income tax collection for the first six months totaled 67.5 billion pesos. Lucio Tan’s fortune is a bit more than that – 78 billion pesos.
