While Lucman played up the firm's name, the gentleman was removed unceremoniously from his office upon his return without any solid reason given. While it does happen in the corporate world, the timing of this is basic 2+2.The man who stood up against the VIP culture on Rehman Malik flight fired by Gerry's group.

So is the VIP culture dead, or is it alive and well?
PIA passengers face hardship - Pakistan - DAWN.COM
KARACHI: Over 300 passengers of Pakistan International Airlines faced hardship at the Karachi airport for over three hours on Friday evening when their flight was delayed because of VIP movement.
According to highly-placed sources, security agencies took over the Karachi airport and suspended all ground movements of the aircraft and vehicles because President Mamnoon Hussain was flying to Islamabad. As a result, at least one PIA flight for Islamabad was delayed for over three hours.
According to the sources, a C-130 of Pakistan Air Force was called in to take the president to Islamabad and all ground movements at the airport were suspended at around 4.30pm.
The president boarded the special aircraft parked at the Terminal I (old airport) and it took off at around 7.45pm.
The aircraft for the PIA flight PK-370 was parked at a distant parking bay and could not be towed to the bay at the Jinnah Terminal where its over 300 passengers were waiting, because of movement restrictions.

Not really, when the US President travels it is much worse.
Also remember the incident when Billy boy Clinton held an entire airport up, while he had a haircut.
So all the noble claims of the VIP culture being "dead" in Pakistan made here not that long ago are false or true?
It's a work in progress, it's a fight we have to win, but also there is legitimate concerns for security, getting that balance right, will be hard - but doable.
But what about billy boys haircut - you never answered that, or is criticizing Yanks against your religion.
So all the claims of changing the VIP culture were overblown, as expected. Throwing Malik Rahman off the flight, WHICH IS THE TOPIC OF THIS THREAD, was just a one-off incident with no real change brought about.
Like Rosa Parks fought against segregation, it will take time, by the way - you never answered about billy's haircut, cat got your tongue.
Sure, until you take a trip to the country.. I cannot share your observation.The "aam aadmi" in Pakistan is usually on an animal-powered or two-wheel conveyance of some kind, not a twin engined jet.
