It looks like there's a delivery date set for AP-BHX on 09MAR07 from Seattle for MAN (1000/1300) then onto ISB and KHI as a revenue flight.

Just wondering how many captains and first officers are now on the 777 fleet with PIA???

Witha fleet of eight 777s, flying a busy schedule I would say atleast 12 pilots (six sets) per aircraft, or around 96 in total.

Also the 747 fleet of eight, any captains moved from the 747s to the 777s yet??

Can PIA sustain atleast six 747s after taking out the retired 747s pilots and the transfers to the 777s??

A captain on the A310 fleet said that the A310 cockpit crew is overworked with most averaging 75 hours per month.
