Airworthiness is the responsible unit of CAA. When a son of director airworthiness (Munawer Jamal) is an aircraft engineer employed by PAES maintaining bhoja aircraft's nothing can be expected going as per rules & regulations. Purchase of these old aircrafts when investigated will certainly reveal many shortcomings in CAA inspections abroad and in karachi.
The commission should comprise of aviation experts not Judiciary. If you cannot ask the right question what are they going to investigate,
Why Judicial Commission ? It should be a team of aviation experts and from abroad. The PM is playing games ...knowing people only trust the Judiciary he is trying to appease to calm the public.
In my opinion "COMMISSIONS" are only made to HIDE THE TRUTH!!!!
