Aviation News – Pakistan International Airlines is best known for sacrificing a goat as part of its maintenance procedures and flying with more passengers than seats (and making customers stand for 1700 miles).
More than 30% of the airline’s pilots had fake licenses. Cockpit resource management was virtually non-existent at PIA.
Flight attendants run when they land outside the country. If they can get work on a flight to Canada, they’re going to stay in Canada.
Unable to afford even jet fuel, the Pakistan national carrier has been limiting its flight and the government has been attempting a sale despite labor backlash, because privatization threatens running the carrier as a fiefdom and piggy bank of corruption for staff. Previous privatization protests turned violent in clashes with police involving rubber bullets, water cannons and tear gas.
