    PAL reveals salary, benefits of cabin crew


    Exasperated by its cabin crew union's propaganda, Philippine Airlines (PAL) today said its flight
    attendants are well paid and receive some of the best benefits that are the envy of other Filipino
    workers.
    PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said officers of the Flight Attendants and Stewards
    Association of the Philippines (FASAP) have not been forthright in informing the public of the
    real salaries and benefits that the PAL cabin crew receives.
    "FASAP claims their basic pay is below the government set minimum wage, but this is just a
    portion of their salary. The truth is they receive much, much more," she said.
    The actual gross monthly pay of a PAL cabin crew, Villaluna said, ranges from P33,000 to
    P75,000, inclusive of productivity pay and other allowances.
    "A domestic crew earns between P34,619 to P37,619 per month, including productivity pay,
    transportation allowance and rice allocation. An international cabin attendant receives P50,741 to
    P60,136, while a flight purser gets P67,880 to P73,570," Villaluna said.
    She stressed that while this salary range may be modest compared to the payscale of giant
    carriers abroad, this is no small amount by Philippine standards. Hence, claims that PAL cabin
    crew are overworked and underpaid are not true.
    Villaluna said their total pay is composed of the basic salary plus the following:
    • Per diem
    o when staying overnight at an international destination ($45-$70)
    o when on a technical stop ($100)
    o for every regional turnaround flight ($20)
    o for every domestic flight (P185)
    • additional pay for every hour in excess of their tour of duty ($50 + $20 for international flights,
    P1,250 per hour for domestic)
    • first-class hotel accommodation at domestic and international stations
    • transportation allowance (or free pick-up from/to residence)
    • free meals in flight and on ground
    • crew shuttle to/from airport
    • thermal clothing allowance (twice a year)
    • shoe allowance – P1,200 for male, P800 for female (twice a year)
    • uniform allowance – from P11,022 to P16,376 (every 18 months)
    • suitcase – costs from P1,563 to P3,647 (replaced every 2 years)
    • complete medical and dental coverage for cabin crew and their qualified dependents
    • 13th & 14th month pay
    • unused days off converted to cash
    • unused sick leave converted to cash
    • perfect attendance award – equivalent to one month pay + per diem
    • retirement benefits – 1.5 month for every year of service
    "All this time FASAP has been presenting to the public and the government a picture that is
    totally opposite reality. FASAP is free to show proof if the wages and benefits we have just
    revealed are not true," Villaluna said.
    PAL also urged FASAP to be truthful in presenting to the public the significant highlights of the
    four conciliation meetings brokered by the National Conciliation and Mediation Board (NCMB).
    "Instead of alarming our passengers with threats of strike, FASAP should at least disclose the
    exchange of proposals and counter-offers to show who was taking a hardline position during the
    conciliation meetings," said Villaluna.
    PAL's offer of P80-million in additional salary plus P25 million in rice allowance (total of P105
    million), change in retirement age to 45 (from 40) and increase in the cabin crew's maternity
    benefits were rejected by FASAP who insisted on their original positions before unilaterally
    declaring a deadlock in the negotiations.
