The flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) on Friday maintained that the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Flight Attendants and Stewards Association of the Philippines union on June 1, 2022, imposes the same retirement age for all employees.
The carrier said it had yet to receive a copy of the Supreme Court decision nullifying a portion requiring female cabin attendants to retire five years earlier than male flight stewards.
