MANILA, Philippines -- The management of the Philippines Air Lines (PAL) has taken all preparations in the event of another strike by the crew, PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said in an interview on dzIQ Radyo Inquirer's "Tapatan" program Friday morning.

"PAL is prepared for the worst-case scenario," Villaluna told Jay Sonza, anchor of Tapatan.
Villaluna made the assurances after a majority of the PALEA membership voted to strike to protest alleged union busting and unfair labor practices.

She said that PAL would seek the help of Air Phil, a sister company, to service passengers who may be affected in case the strike would push through.

Villaluna added that talks were also underway between PAL and 134 inter-airline partners as well as several food catering companies to supplement work that would be abandoned by the striking airline crew and employees.
