As PAL states it on their web site:
"Philippine Airlines regrets the decision of some of its pilots to accept job offers abroad, causing the disruption of PAL's flight schedules due to inadequate flight deck crew to fly the Airbus A320 airplanes".
Instead of just offering a competitive salary the airline preferred to argue with their ex-pilots and tell them that they are violating their contracts. PAL threatened to file charges against their former pilots.
In the meantime they are adjusting their schedule by merging some flights or upgrading the machines to larger aircraft lessen the inconvenience to affected passengers.
Here is how they prefer to state it:
"The indiscriminate resignation of the A320 pilots for flying jobs whose salaries PAL is unable to match, is in violation of their contracts with PAL as well as with pertinent government regulations that require resigning pilots to give PAL six months to train their replacements.
PAL will soon be filing appropriate charges against those pilots who chose not to report for work immediately after submitting resignation letters. Most of the pilots still owe PAL the cost of their aviation school training, which run into millions of pesos per pilot. "
The Philippine Airlines seem to learn from some of the airlines in the US: "The customers comes first when it's about paying and last when receiving service".
