According to Express News, a few employees who said that they hold a Master's degree in Business Administration could not produce any legitimate proof of their qualification and only had their result cards with them.
Certain employees had degrees of universities black-listed by the high court.
Employees who were promoted from group four to five in the hierarchy were not even interviewed and assessed.
However, PIA Spokesperson Sultan Hassan maintained that the credentials are investigated and verified, and if in case any employee produces fake certificates, they are fired immediately.

There was a story recently that Indian pilot's were faking their flight hours.
At least these are not pilot's in the cockpit.
@Sh: and that they employ only few people. They need to learn from Pakistan Railways.
Irresponsible statements like suggesting closure of the organization OR making a gross generalization indicating ALL PIA senior staff have fake degrees is the height of ignorance! Some do, some don't. Why should an entire operation cease to exist for a few who are corrupt? It is still provides and creates JOBS for our hopeless economy. It gives people from sweepers to higher-up authorities to provide bread and butter for their family. It is besides the point that they pay a meager salary.
emphasized text Airline is no joke, you need to have expertise who can ensure safety, but nowadays it has become a trend, everyone tries to bring their family related people up instead of those who can actually bring about consistency and improvement in service.
when will PPP stop destroying every organization just because of those jialays ..
Next what? Fake pilots?
One more reason to shut down PIA immediately.
@ BS.Detecter. I agree things like this do happen in developed countries. But their ration is very nominal. However if someone is doing good in PIA, people may get astonish...
PIA means "pia" (dearer) and any one who loves to hide credentials are most welcome in PIA. "pia" can do any thing for such people. After all they are also human beings.

No wonder PIA is making losses and is mess. 200 senior staff with fake degrees. I hope someone is noting the rot and ethical degradation in PIA
Zardari zindabad!
@MAHER ALI: Stuff like this happens in many other countries too even the most idealized America
Once an honest man comes on top, rest of the ladder becomes clean by itself. Its need of the hour put such honest people from around the country in top positions
GREAT PEOPLE TO FLY WITH..... This is Pakistan my dear, anything can happen here..
