This govt is such a disaster! Can you imagine, they’ve sunk not just Pakistani pilots’ reputations but also of the CAA which judges pilots’ licenses. Now who will take Pakistani flying licenses seriously?! And these guys claim they’re improving Pak repute in the world??
According to some, this entire claim by the Aviation Minister was a ill-thought-through attempt to tame PALPA - the airline pilots’ union. But it has blown up and left egg on Pakistan’s face around the world.
There is a method to this madness.
Minister of aviation on 24 June said 150 PIA pilots with issues.
PIA grounds 150 pilots same day & writes a letter.
Today PIA sent a reminder to get the list of 150 pilots that it has already grounded.
Still no idea who PIA has grounded. 🤷🏻♂️
So now the Minister is calling the licenses “suspect” rather than “fake”. And while he says he’s sent the names to the airlines, PIA spox confirms they have yet to receive the list. So they still don’t know who to ground. Only thing this govt seems concerned about is publicity.

TBF the problem and fraud and crime and blame is on the specific lying pilots. Let's focus on who committed the wrong doing. Surely you are not suggesting the Govt of Pakistan should sweep this fraud under the rug.
@sameerchishty
No. As usual you’ve caught the wrong end of the stick. If true, it should be handled promptly and dealt with severely. But claiming this in parliament before you take action is rubbish. CAA which judges licenses would be equally complicit. It’s not limited to the pilots.
@hyzaidi
Just like previous govts, push it under the carpet.. It’s about safety of ppl. Every time new govt brought it’s own ppl esp in PIA added to the staff inc pilots. Doesn’t matter how but now it’s out in the open
@gulas98
This is not the way to do it. Take action, don’t simply announce it before taking action. Now as a result ALL pilots have become suspect and all Pak airlines and pilots face blacklisting around the world.
@hyzaidi
Yes he admitting that is a disaster & acting on it, but the Govts who recruited them & didnt do anything about it were not, wow this lot seems to be getting lower & lower in their hatred!

@FauziaKasuri
One can never think that this can happen in this institution as peoples lives are at stake astaghfaar!!! This was done to the people of Pakistan in previous government, I dread to think what they must have done to other institutions.
@hyzaidi
You are implying that ”This govt” is a disaster?? Have PTI hired these fake pilots or the previous govts??
I think you have short memory mate. When PTI hired AM Malik, he fired many but they got stay from courts and unions nearly removed PIA chairman, remember??
@hyzaidi
One could object the way this issue is being handled by Aviation Minister, but to avoid anymore incidents like PK8303, the total cleansing of culprits involved from PCCA&PIA is need of time
