Re: PIA in really bad shape
In addition to wrong policies of Governments and PIA management, PIA's employees have fair share in bringing this Airline down. Take a look at this quick look at the list
Employees (on standby tickets) never get precedence over paid travelers in any airline in the world but in PIA. Our Sifarishi culture to be blamed
In DJ College one of my class fellow was the son of PIA's Engineer and he used to bring "computer paper" from his father's office to use in college! Kgs and Kgs of paper and this is the story of every 2nd employee of PIA. I have seen PIA's cutlery /plates/cups/Tissue etc in many houses. I have seen PIA's buses being used for PICNICS and WEDDINGS
PIA's employee per plane ratio us really really high as compared to other leading airlines
PIA has to be freed from "Govt control" at least Govt should pay for the seats they block for official travels.
I have seen apney Pakistani bhai throwing trash on the floor of the PIA's plane who otherwise will dispose it properly in any other airline. For some reason we have a mentality that we can do anything in "PIA"'s plane that we will not try in other airlines just becasue its "our airline".
and list can go on and on ....
That is very true. I also remember reading an article which stated that once NS delayed the take off of a PIA flight by a day, because he had the urge to go and eat his favourite ice cream at Harrods. :D
