i've just heard..from a reliable source that PIA has placed an order for the lease of 4 Airbus330's due in two months time..an RP has alos been sent to out to a few pilots and PALPA..the only problem is PALPA does not know where to send the pilots onto the A330's from..considering the fact that a large number of co pilots are to be given command onto the ATR's from the A310's and the pilots on the 777's have barely completed 3 years...and fokker f/o's are due to leave it for for the 737's...
wow..A330's in PIA colours..this i've got to see..initially they'll be on wetlease but the deal is renegotiable to install our own pilots...

that tender was just for hajj..what we are looking at here is possible replacements for the B4's and maybe the A310's as well since PIA does not have any medium range medto high capacity jet liners , something that would fall in between the A310 and the 777.....and the first ATR is coming in in March , the next one in November , in between PIA will be leasing 4 ATR's with crew to allow our pilots to train on them ......
