No government has the balls to fix PIA.
Its not possible. PIA is a cancer patient that each government gives a chemo therapy to give it temporary relief and then bang the cancer is back.
This time the cancer has spread to the entire body and PIA debt has become unmanageable.
The debt piled up since 2004 is going to bury this airline.
