Lawmakers concerned over Supreme Court ‘meddling’ in PIA affairs

RAWALPINDI: The Senate Standing Committee on Aviation maintained that the Supreme Court has nothing to do with the management of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and directed PIA to share court’s decision that allowed it to recruit 205 new professionals, including 80 pilots.

The meeting held at Parliament House on Thursday was chaired by Senator Hidayatullah. It discussed the Supreme Court’s recent decision, which allowed the PIA to recruit 205 skilled employees, including pilots, cabin crew and IT experts.

The PIA officials informed the committee that the court allowed the PIA to recruit cabin crew, IT professionals and 80 pilots on contract for one year.

The PIA officials informed the meeting that one of the major obstacles in the implementation of the decision was that USD 15,000 to 20,000 were required for the 8 to 10 month training of pilots and there was no legal binding which barred the pilots from joining other airlines after the initial contract.

Most probably retired Air force pilots will be hired maybe that's why.

[aircraftdriver93]

So if they want to hire retired airforce (your analysis) then why they haven’t hired anybody yet? My question is the same.

Is the Cadet pilot's add coming tomorrow?

Is the Cadet pilot's add coming tomorrow?

Rumor or something more definitive? It's always a mystery as to when these ads come, most of the time out of nowhere.

[aircraftdriver93]

What I came to know that they have delayed/cancelled the cadet pilots AD for the time being. Now their plan was to publish Captains AD this Sunday (morning) but it is also not coming in the morning.

I wonder why, especially considering how desperate they were for the ban to be lifted not too long ago.

Yes exactly. This is what management can answer. Even flights cancellations cost them around 19 billion during last 9-12 months due to crew/aircraft shortage.
