Training, development & rotations

Budget airline Cebu Pacific Air launched a training program for new pilots to secure requirements for its expanding fleet while broadening the pool of potential candidates by initially shouldering traditionally high tuition fees.

Cebu Pacific said its cadet pilot trading program would create 240 professional pilots over five years.

Candidates will be carefully screened and will undergo a 56-week training program, after which they will become Cebu Pacific's first officers flying domestic and international routes.

Compensation & benefits

Former employees from major job sites found the low salary grade to be an issue, but this is often countered by the variety of fringe benefits including free flights (unlimited free domestic tickets and limited free international tickets), HMO, government-mandated benefits, and medicine allowance, among others. 

Company culture

Employees from major job sites frequently commented on the 'fun' and 'casual' work environment that improved their confidence and communication skills. However, the fast-paced environment of a high-traffic budget airline and long hours left some workers burnt out, especially during peak seasons. A 'friendly' and ‘supportive’ management makes work bearable.

• For non-cabin crew roles, applicants attend a series of interviews (one-on-one or panel) with an HR representative and the department manager. Some employees reported an essay-type questionnaire. 
• Cabin crew applicants will go through a more rigorous recruitment process. Appearance, personality, and physical fitness are more valued than academic qualifications, according to reviews. 
• The process begins with screening, where an HR representative assesses physical requirements. The airline puts a premium on height (a requirement of 5’3” for females and 5’7” for males), clear complexion, a great smile, and skin void of tattoos and blemishes. Next is an 'impact interview' where applicants must answer interview questions about their strengths and weaknesses, among others. The last step is an interview with the HR head.
