Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in Germany...

FM has meeting with 09 US Senators and 10 US Congressmen tomorrow (15th of Feb).

Not exactly PAF related, but those are the guys who are decision makers in terms of sales of defense related. Now i'm not saying that Block 70's are around the corner, because some our brothers on this forum are against the F-16 and/or assistance from the US (in general). However, we still need parts for our aging F-16's which we can't just dump and we certainly could use the upgrades - too.

Hi knuckles just a little off topic Q
These legendary war/ fighter pilot heroes usually got retired as a wing commander or as a air commodore can this be due to
1 favouritism
2 lost their touch time of promotion
3 or anything specific according to the PAF promotion criteria
Thank you

Multiple reasons. But the public will always have their own theories to make it newsworthy.

Hi,

You already answered the question---.

You know what incompetent people have---as they can compete against the competent---they have developed a knack to impress the seniors at how good they are---.

They know how to play with the psyche of the commander in commander and other selectors---.

Where as high performer is busy fighting a bigger enemy in the air---the low performer is as busy training his self to get promoted---.

See---you can either be this---or you can either be that----.
