She urged aviators to “move up higher” in their careers and emphasized the importance of striving for excellence and embracing opportunities for professional growth within the aviation industry.
“So you’re training now; even if you consider yourself at the first, second, or third level of your career, move up higher,” the CDC president said.
The ceremony celebrated the graduation of 101 pilots from CAE Philippines, underscoring the significance of their theme: “Your wings already exist. All you have to do is fly.”
Atty. Devanadera emphasized the importance of career growth and urged aspiring pilots to strive for excellence. She stressed the need for continuous improvement in the industry and urged pilots to advance their skills to meet evolving demands.
“We need more than just pilots; we need dedicated and well-trained pilots,” Atty. Devanadera said.
