So, what's happening at PIA?

Re: So, what's happening at PIA?

With huge Pakistani population and substantial middle class, even if PIA only efficiently concentrates on local market within the country, they can make a great airline. The competition is not great even from other forms of transport.... only if they could get rid of political and military appointees and get professional management.

Re: So, what's happening at PIA?


true but these appointees must work for their paychecks in order to benefit the airline they work for. they should realize that if the airline goes down, they'll go down with it...won't have a job!

Haraam Khorii to na kareN na!

If you get a tailor to operate a crane, he cannot do a good job even if he is very much dedicated and hardworking at his job. Those appointees are not trained to run airlines, even if they work had, they'd still remain what their original profession was before joining the airline.

I personally know a few of them.... one newspaper dealer in my neighborhood was appointed manager cargo handling at Islamabad airport because he believed 'bhutto aaj bhi zinda hai'. You can imagine what happened at that airport for the next few weeks.
