I never wanted to go to a recruitment agency without any prior appointment, and take a chance that a job that suits my qualification is available.

Frustrated over Air Ticket Promos?

I since thought of travelling around the Philippines. You can travel its more than 7100 islands by land or by sea but it will consume most of your time on the road.

Since then, other airlines such as Zest Air, and even Philippine Airlines through its subsidiary, AirPhil Express followed the trend. There are now a good number of low cost airlnes operating in Asia. And they are surprisingly more profitable as compared to the legacy airlines.
