This is why I'm curious Philippine Airlines hasn't gotten into one of the SA, ST, or OW.

There must be something other than a safety rating that was updated 3 years ago holding them back.

If it is a matter of soft/hard product then I'm not sure why Philippines Airlines is being singled out and left out since one could make the claim that the partner airlines in any of the big 3 alliances has just as good/bad product as PA.
AFAIK, Philippines is the only airline that has as bad a J hard product. They pack them in 2/2/2 on A330 with bunk bed seating. Considering J, imagine Y. Each alliance has the step-chuld so to speak. Philippines is the drunk uncle no one wants. At least from what ive read i dont see any of the alliances wanting them.
