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!!!

During last thirty months:

* Number of employees in PIA reduced from 16,563 to 14,771.
* 2,453 employees retired or passed away.
* 611 employees hired including 507 technicians.
abbas history of pia

The politicians who are blaming PIA for over-staffing and inefficiency have themselves appointed hundreds of employee's in their respective tenures and given important postings to their cronies.
Now who they are blaming for the worst performance of PIA?

@BordoEnes , state owned companies in Pakistan have been used traditionally as part of our culture of "patronage politics", i.e. person A who is influential in his area makes sure that the people of his area using whatever means necessary vote for the ruling party. In return the ruling party offers him a well paid job within a state owned company, with Person A naturally not being expected to do any actual work for the company.

Over the years tens of thousands of such individuals have been working for state owned enterprises like Pakistan Steel Mills and PIA. The incumbent government is trying to privatize these companies and get rid of the burden they pose on state coffers but people like Person A are influential and are creating havoc in the country as we speak as well.

Can t be true, because PMLn middle east lover party has sold over 109 landing right to Qatar,Dubai.Saudis and Turkey. Major share goes to Qatar and Saudis. Unfortunately, our politicians has no love for Pakistan. Over all over 200 landing rights are given to middle eastern airline. These routes generate billions of rupees. Nawaz front man Saif ur Rahman again in picture to execute these deals. Also these PIA unions are white elephant for airline. All these Unions need to be banned for the progress of this country.

After selling these national asset, when nothing left for sale, these politicians has no choice to show performance . Otherwise, they will be canned out the window. All national asset are destroyed by unions. These unions used for political manipulation and achieve political agenda by our politicians ..

Yes and No.

Yes IF they were hired on merit.
No IF they were hired on the basis of their political affiliation.
