I have seen a lot of former PAL Express flight attendants doing very well at Philippine Airlines. The former serves as a training ground for the latter.

They both also share the same high training standards for one to become their cabin crew.

And the most obvious is they share the same uniform, except for the wings of course, and destinations.

Aim to become a Philippine Airlines flight attendant through PAL Express

I hope that I can encourage this to all aspirants. Once PAL Express takes you in, I encourage you to stay until you become part of Philippine Airlines. Establish a long term goal with both airlines, Wag naman yung kaka pasok ninyo lang sa PAL Express tapos biglang lilipat sa ibang airline wala pang 4 to 6 months from the time you were hired. Suppose you get promoted to Philippine Airlines, so and good. That means you performed well in PAL Express, qualifying you to become part of Philippine Airlines.

Moving up from PAL Express to Philippine Airlines will depend heavily on your performance. This is why it is best that while you are in PAL Express, please make the most of it.

So to all who want to become a Philippine Airlines cabin crew in the future, I suggest that you join PAL Express. This would be the best way to be part of the country’s flag carrier.
