Despite government intervention and management assurance of job security, many more Philippine Airlines (PAL) pilots are preparing to resign in the coming weeks, threatening to once again cripple the flag carrier’s operations.

A senior member of the airline’s Airbus A320 division, who asked not to be named since he still works for the company, said PAL pilots had lost faith in PAL management.

“Last week, [PAL president Jaime] Bautista met with all of us and he promised that none of us would be moved to Air Philippines anymore,” the pilot said.

“We don’t believe them anymore. That’s what they told us a month ago before transferring our colleagues to Air Philippines,” he said.
