Goal

GET THAT STAR! PROGRAM To be a PAL cabin crew, one has to live up to the qualities of being a 5-star cabin crew! Yes, you are reading it right, 5-stars! PAL’s 4th star is merely a step towards that goal of being a 5-star airline and that takes the act of buong pusong alaga on each passenger. they had to undergo two months of grueling training which eventually moulded them as Philippine Airlines cabin crew, a 4-star airline, and as individuals. From the time Philippine Airlines and PAL Express launched it’s “get that star” campaign with the end goal of being rated a 5-star airline by 2020, their cabin crew all had to undergo a more stringent and holistic training program.
