Early
1960s PIA
advertisement. The advertisement reads: "In every PIA Boeing
two-fully-rated captains. Most jet airlines today carry two
pilots - a Captain and a First Officer. In every PIA Boeing 720B
fan jet, not just the Captain, but both pilots are fully rated,
senior men. Such emphasis on operational standards - high even
in an industry of high standards - explains why last year this
young and vigorous airline could successfully increase its
scheduled departures to 77 a day; explains, too, why today PIA
has established an enviable reputation for maintenance and
punctuality, while travellers the world over say PIA are great
people to fly with." |
