Can someone confirm if this is accurate?

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

Totally accurate but you cant just fire people they should be accomodated in other gov sectors

So you're suggesting that the PIA bloat gets transferred to other government sectors that are already bloated?

No regard for skills or competencies required in these 'other government sectors'?

These unions are created and backed my political parties......

Well, during PPP era, PMLn used these monsters and now........but this over crowded PIA need to disperse there free loaders for the progress. Here is issue of " two wrongs".

 

[PaklovesTurkiye]

This is simply disturbing to look at.

Our heads are under tremendous shame right now. This was the same PIA who helped establish Emirates airline.

We are nationally corrupt and democracy is not our choice. A controlled democracy ...where certain limitation need to be applied. But question remain there.......who will be honest man ....

over crowded PIA

over crowded
and below average trained staff to be honest.

In general language it is called ''SHAFARSHI BHARTIAAN''

Kaheen PPP ki jiala ,,kaheen PMLn ka shaar....but no existence of human being. Few years ago , i attend bday party of PIA employee kid,. Everything served in PIA paper cups , plates and napkins. Using PIA van as personal transport.....Corruption is so deep.

Exactly..............
Common justification for such actions is
''Company ka maal he, to company kis ki he?.............

I have a Pakistani friend here and belongs to hyderabad. His father is engineer in PIA. He usually travel to Pakistan free using PIA like he is going to next street. he usually takes flights from Paris and stays in hotel on the expense of PIA. Actually PIA destroyed by such leisure.

 

[ajpirzada]

We have long known that PIA and Pak Steel has been overstaffed with political-based hiring spree.

I still laugh at that "Great People To Fly With" slogan. It's hillarious!!!

maybe they are referring to 'great' interms of quantity of people lol

Made me wonder, how check and balance in Pakistani parliaments work?

Don't need to sell Pakistan, but selling loss making State entities like PIA and Pakistan Steel would certainly help save hundreds of millions of dollars annually that could then be potentially invested in education, health, infrastructure and law and order.

Loss making entities like PIA and Pakistan Steel play a significant role (though of course they are not the only factor) in skewing the overall standing of Pakistan when compared to other countries.

That is easier said than done, given the history of handing out cushy jobs in such enterprises as part of the patronage system of looting.

Pak steel was profitable during Musharraf era. Talent and honest people exist in our country.

Governments, even honest ones, are inherently constrained when it comes to taking tough decisions necessary for the survival or expansion of commercial entities that they run.

Everyone agrees that PIA and PS are bloated and need massive downsizing, but elected governments will always be handicapped in making that decision precisely because the tamasha we are seeing now will take place and it'll be painted in the media as an example of a callous government that cares nothing for the electorate etc etc.

Privatization is the way to go.
