PIA Does not even have the plane shown in the picture above please get your facts correct.... Even yesterday you reported a child being born in an aircraft which is later shown to be incorrect.... I have always maintained that the journalism on this particular website is slowly going down ..... Although it started out brilliantly
I really expected a lot higher standards of journalism when started out in collaboration with the Herald Tribune
But you have immature and incompetent people writing your blogs and the reporting sometimes nothing less than childish
For the love of God throw this airline in the junk where it belongs. And fire these so called dedicated employees of PIA. These free-loaders, what a shame this is. 18000 employees the biggest number in the world in terms of employee-to-plane ratio. What is this? If it would have been any other country these free-loaders good for nothing bums would have been laid off in one day. And may God curse the politicians who kept inducting more and more people every year into this blood sucking PIA. Why should we pay with our taxes the perks and pays for these free-loaders of PIA. Please get rid of them, they were not supposed to be in the airline from day one, so whats the problem of kicking them out? sell the planes, and let it be over and done with. If our govt cannot do that then fire 70 percent of PIA work force and maintain a very small fleet until revenues can be made. This is hilarious keeping such an organisation which is sucking the blood of poor tax payers. what a shame.
