After being laid off as a pilot just as he was starting his flying career, former GMA reporter Steve Dailisan has found a new job with another airline.
In late July, Dailisan revealed that he was retrenched as a pilot by Cebu Pacific when he was just starting out his aviation career.
“I will have to rest my golden wings for a while to chart a new destination elsewhere,” he said.
However, on August 16, he announced that he has found a new job, this time at AirAsia, as the public affairs manager.
“A few months ago, I thought it was the end of my much-loved aviation career. Tears were shed and so the vision turned blurry,” he said.
Dailisan added that he considered “going back to broadcast journalism, government service and academe” when “an opportunity came to practice my corporate communication skills.”
“I admit, I was anxious and exhausted but I never entertained the thought of giving up. This is what we need right now to stay afloat. FIGHT and WIN, ONE DAY at a TIME. True enough, we are never denied, just redirected by God to a better path,” he said.
He also said that he still wants to continue his career as a pilot once someday, saying “just like all my pilot colleagues and cabin crew friends, I shall patiently look forward to the time when all of us will be RED-y to paint the skies again.”
