Looks good BUT don't u think they change color schemes too frequestly... or may b I am mistaken...!!! I'm saying this coz if they change it too frequently, it can be a way to extort more out of ppl's tax money... Giving "ٹھيكه" to re-Paint, to their acquaintances etc...

You sound just like an American President saying American tax payers money.

It sounds good but it simply doesn't exist in our country and the amount which is usually collected is not sufficient enough to even paint the tail of an aircraft.

If Pakistanis had ever paid taxes it would have mounted to 14$Billion a year and we would be enjoying economic developments rather than relying on kerry lugar bill worth 7.5$Billion for 5 years.

see the difference (tax collection) 14$Billion/year vs. 7.5$Billion for 5yrs (kerry Lugar Bill).

I heard that many of the PIA pilots are former PAF pilots. is that true?

yes true, Pilots who are in it for the money leave the air force, and join a commercial flight operator, they get paud way better.

My cousin advised me to go for airforce and becoem a pilot n then join PIA.
