Actually she isn't. I will illustrate with a few points below. Fact - current employee numbers ae down to about 15000 from 18000 prior to this Govt. The number of employees is on a downward trend. Definitely no influx of employees as she claims. She is wrong on this point too. Both this...

I don't disagree with you. I was just illustrating how employee numbers have slightly fallen at PK. I was an operations manager at British Airways until 2014 so efficiency and cost cutting is something I'm familiar with.

Incorrect. As per company reports: http://www.piac.com.pk/PIA_About/profiles/2014/PIA-Annual-Report-2014-23052015.pdf Yr 2009: 17944 employees Yr 2010: 18019 employees Yr 2011: 18014 employees Yr 2012: 17439 employees Yr 2013: 16604 employees Yr 2014: 16243 employees World's Most Overstaffed...

Actually there is no commonality/influence between current in production 767-300ers and 748/787/737max. As you can see, current build 767-300ers still retain the original cockpit setup. This is a recent sept 2013 build: Think of it as: Boeing 757/767-200(ER/F)/300(ER/F) (common cockpit and...

I understood perfectly well what you initially intended to say. However, as I and popeye illustrated, your poor choice of words is what led to confusion (for popeye and potentially others) which is why I called you out on it. Actually, using that cockpit pic of the 767 is a poor example as it...

No mechanical/structural enhancements are included in these mods. Just avionics so that the C-130 can operate in International airspace on airways with commercial traffic (RVSM). You've just compared a turboprop handling/flying to a jet here: (note you typed 'C-130 jets' here) You...

As things stand, Boeing is holding deposits while PIA decides what to order. 777 delivery slots which would have resulted in deliveries starting August 2015 were given to other airlines. Only three A320 are on the PCAA register. The other aircraft are wet leased and operated by Ukrainian...

At the moment, only the tender for 300 shotguns has been posted. More tenders will be posted over the next few months. Here is the plan per documents:

Other than a standardisation around a Kalashnikov platform, no other update makes sense from a cost perspective. I've started a thread here on Punjab police firearm procurement plans. I'm sure you chaps will find it ...........interesting. Punjab Police draws up firearms shopping list

As per the documents, Punjab police plans to procure: 500 Sig Sauer P226 9mm 400 9mm pistols no manufacturer specified just 'glock/berretta or equivalent' 250 Sig Sauer 516 rifle 5.56mm 7.5" barrel personal defense weapon 25 SC-76 Sniper Rifle 7.62mm - I'm not sure if they genuinely want to...

Apologies. The reason I linked to a science journal is because I know a lot of members here are in the medical field and I was hoping for their opinions and input. I see that you have got the gist of the article. It's not just resistant E.coli but other gram negative bugs like Pseudomonas...

That's the problem. People are ignorant of this very serious matter. Now don't take this as a personal attack, but your reply above sums the ignorance up. It's not people who are becoming drug resistant, it's the bacteria!

Indeed. A seriously understated problem. Whilst there is far too much antibiotic use in Western agriculture and healthcare settings, as in this instance, it pales in comparison to China which is why so much of the drug resistance is evolving there.

Until now, polymyxin resistance has involved chromosomal mutations but has never been reported via horizontal gene transfer. During a routine surveillance project on antimicrobial resistance in commensal Escherichia coli from food animals in China, a major increase of colistin resistance was...

The difference of course being that the home nations involved, namely the UK, France and Germany had already built FAA certified aircraft. China hasn't. Indeed. Industrial acceptance will only come if/when the aircraft is EASA/FAA certified. Oh and remind me again China. How is the ARJ-21...

Here is the original ref to the A380 failure. The Failure that occured to Qantas VH-OQA was an uncontained turbine failure, a failure that IS NOT SPECIFIC to either RR or T900 engines as Jango inferred and as I pointed out similar failures have occurred on Engine Alliance aircraft as per my...

DUH!!!! I'm not referring to that incident which affected VH-OQA but a separate one which occurred as I stated on an Engine Alliance equipped A380 operated by Emirates Airlines. See here: On 11 November 2012, an Emirates A380 aircraft, registered A6-EDA, departed Sydney Airport for Dubai...

That route network is old. Many of those routes such as Hong Kong, Glasgow, Amsterdam etc have been dropped. Why don't they charter a Sikorsky VIP chopper for you whilst they're at it? PIA has reduced the take off weight of their 777-200er aircraft bcause they don't need it's heavy lifting...

Peshawar in the past has been used by both civil/military. I included the Karachi and Lahore plates to correct IK's error.

Peshawar doesn't have an ILS system. Your only options are a VOR approach or VOR/NDB letdown. All ILS equipped airports are only equipped on a uni-directional basis. Only LHE is Cat 2. Karachi is CAT 1.
