@AKKS agreed

Great achivement

Wow Great, feeling Proud

Many many congratulations to both sisters. they are real assets of our country. Pakistan should open pilot airline training school so that our pilots can give services to all over the world. We have more talent in Pakistan but unfortunately there is not much facilities are provided to them to groom their skills and talent. God bless both sisters. Thumps Up.

Bravo! These are the moments which makes the country proud. Now, if only PIA can re-invent itself and become as marvelous as the glorious past, that would be a crowning achievement.

Proud of you ladies.

Proud daughters of Pakistan.

Whatever the state of PIA and its planes, one thing for sure is that they have some of the best airline pilots in the world

From India. Nice to see young Pakistani sisters working as pilots in their suits without any hijab. Congratulations to both of them. May their tribe grow.

All praise to the two brilliant sisters. But, PIA is the same white dinosaurs aging ahead of its age.

how come a same blood relation work together in same flights and in same organisation on similar post . Although its good but Pakistan zindabad.

Nice to seen women are earning their reputation , wish to see them in all the sectors.. and their contribution in building up a robust economy.. all the best PAKISTAN wishes from and humble INDIA...

Bravo!

This is the fantastic news for our society.Especially when it comes to female, May God please keep our heads up to all these type of things. I am from India and definitely a great solute to these pilot sisters. This is the real Pakistan......

Bravo...moving ahead in the footsteps of Pakistan's first female pilot, Shookreya Khanum!

@Qaiser Ali Khattak How?

Congratulations to sisters!!

Proud of you. Keep it up.

@Balakrishnan Kamesh they are in all sectors already ..name it.... its not a patriotic statement..our woman are in almost every sector..

Terrific achievement in a family as normally is father and son. We need more.

Pride of our country...we should encourage more women to move forward in different fields.

Another example of woman power!!! Keep it up

@Bob: even if the ladies were wearing hijabs, it would not matter. That is personal choice. Well done, ladies. We should feel proud and encourage many more like them.

Bravo!!! Salute to the ladies from India.

Well done. Keep it up and down with the conservative lot who want to see women imprisoned at home only.

Well done. Safe flying both of you!

@Bob it doesn't matter that whether they are wearing hijab or not, its their personal choice,they are just proud of our country.. We are also very proud of Mariam Mukhtar who is the first female pilot martyr of our country and wore hijab..

Great achievement, helps in breaking the stereotypes associated with Pakistan. The perception and reality is different. Wish PIA again gets the reputation it has earlier, top three airlines in the world...can be done.

Good news about PIA after a long long time! Thank you Masood sisters. We are all proud of you.

You make us proud.

I have generally found women to be excellent in multi-tasking - much better than men. Glad they have started to break down the glass ceiling in Pakistan now. It will make it much easier for my two toddler girls when they grow up :)

Congratulations!!!!

@Bob Hijaab is a personal choice. Hijaab or no hijaab theses women are our pride.

Congratulation to both of you and PAK.

An average Joe will be lucky if he can get his foot in a government organization in Pakistan without using someone's reference. Two very close in age sisters made it that far. Just curious if the appointments were made on Merits and not safarish. No offence to anyone. Wish you all the best.

Brighter side of Pakistan, proud.

Great. Thumbs up!

Awww... So proud of you beautiful and talented. GBU and wish you all the success, may we many more millions like you.

You are Pakistan's pride. God may bless both sisters a great success.

I hope that most, if not all, religious seminaries in Pakistan that are inundated with misogynist views get to see this news so they can understand that women can do anything they put their mind to, Instead of demeaning and preposterous views that they are subjected to daily.

Women empowerment! Good to see that.

NICE...GOOD LUCK from India

This is my Pakistan making record after record . Keep Making us proud.

Bravo c0ngratulations it is a good news.

Congratulations Pakistan

Well done sisters for flying 777.you have made Pakistanis proud.Keep it up.

Fantastic achievement. Expecting more such news emanating from Pakistan.

Excellent role models for the nations!!! weldone girls

we proud of you as pakistani

Congratulations from India

Congratulations to both sisters. Not only Pakistanis, but Indian are also proud of them. Hurray

Well done sisters.

Educated and self dependent women are important for any country. Keep doing good for women welfare. Congratulate Ladies

proud of our Pakistani girls

It is excellent news. It is the great achievement for the nation to have female pilots in line with the male pilots. The sisters are pride of Pakistan. Heartiest congratulation to both of them and their family who have supported them to achieve this milestone.

It is indeed a great pleasure and proud for me that the two young sisters namly: Maryam & Erum Masood have joined PIA as Pilot/Captain. In other words, both sisters will one day prove themselves as best ladies Pilot for the entire nation inshaallah. Keep it up and Salaam

@Bob what has hijab got to do with their work. Do not mix religion with professionalism...

All hats are up for Masood sisters. We are proud of you. Go Girls Go.

Pakistani women are par excellence,provided they got opportunity.

some good and positive news, well-done, good luck.

We are proud of you both sisters.

@Ali Rizvi Agree..

@Bob What does this have to with hijab? All Pakistani women whether they wear hijab or not have equal opportunities to excel in all fields of life.

@saleem, Brother for your kind information, except for manufacturing planes PIA was the industry. PIA was training staffs of other countries in Asia. PIA was considered the best airline in the world. Political influence and recruitment destroyed PIA.

You will never see coverage of this type of news in the West.

Pakistan is no Saudi Arabia, Iran or any of the other ME country. Our bright women are commercial pilots, fighter pilots, politicians, army and police officers, business women and the list goes on.

Well done ladies! More power to ladies like you.

Proud to see pair of girls from single family achieving such milestone in History of Pakistan Pilot service.

So very proud of you and your families,congratulations .

Proud Pakistani and God bless you. God bless Pakistan.

Proud of pakistani women for their diehard commitment to excellence,and to beat stereotype .

This is a real Pakistan that I know

Congratulations ! so proud of you both sisters and so is Pakistan. Keep it up ! s/o late Capt M M Salehjee

Great. Kudos to the brilliant girls.

Bravo to both the sisters. Good to see that women of this country are making good progress in almost all the walks of life.

Good job and way to go girls.

Pakistan need such example to educate their society. These two sisters are really doing great job. You should spread this message across Pakistan.

Good

As an Indian i would say this is a real achievement of Pakistan. I am proud that this sisters are from a fellow neighbouring south asian country. Congrats to the sisters, to Pakistan and to PIA who made it possible.

Good job .Hopefully more will join you. You shine the way for the women in Pakistan .That's good achievement...Next step to space .I love to see that

Great going! You go girls! Proud to be Pakistani.

Proud of you sisters..

@Mahmood right!

Proud of our Pakistani women!

Absolutely fantastic!

@Bob what's wrong with the hijab?

Proud of you. May you reach greater heights.

Well done ladies. Both of you are an inspiration for the young generation. This news is well covered in most of Indian newspapers and readers are full of praise for this duo.

Go girls!! More power to you. Congratulations!!

@bob hijab is beautiful and their choice. Whats ur problem in india with it?.

Pakistan leading the world. The Naya pakistan. Well done. Inspiration to women world over.

Very pleasing to learn the achievement by lady pilots of PIA. They distinctly stand out to show how ladies can perform when any opportunity is provided to them. Well done sisters.

Congratulations from India. This is the news we want to hear from your country.

Youngsters of Pakistan are far more talented than their older generation. What they actually need is good education, small guidance and freedom of decision making. Provide it, and see how landscape would change into a beautiful scenery. I am so very hopeful of younger generation to perform.

Very good show!

You make us proud.

Mashallah, I am proud of you.

Pakistani women are trail blazers not just as PIA pilots, but also PAF pilots. Now two sisters are flying PIA Boeing 777, this is an extraordinary achievement, perhaps not matched by any other airline in the world. PIA also had all women crew flying PIA Airbus 300s. Its high time the government appointed women for PIA management, surely they will perform better than incompetent men appointed thus far. Maryam and Erum Masood have made the nation proud.

Proud to a Pakistani الحمد اللہ

Nothing special about the record but glad to see Pakistani women flying Boeing. Keep it up ladies.

Thats the only history we can make now. What about the airline itself gone. Being a Pakistani it hurts me a lot

Now we are talking !! This is what Pakistan needs to show the rest of the World, what are we made of.

I think it's good news for women in general of the subcontinent , feel jelous but that's male nature , best wishes.

..But this post didn't mention from where did they fly to and the destination..

@JQ Read again..on different planes but same time and type..B777's.

Two thumbs up for both sisters.

Congrats We pray for your glorious future ahead.

Finally a feel good story about Pakistan... and PIA to top it off.

Pakistanis have great potentials and are one of the most talented, welcoming and hospitable Nation of the world. The foreigners visiting Pakistan including Indians have frequently endorsed the above facts about Pakistan and Pakistanis. Unfortunately because of the incessant rule of corrupt and incompetent rulers the most beautiful Country and Nation been taken hostage by all sorts of religious, ethnic, radicals extremists, terrorists and the criminals. This has gravely affected the self integrity, the use of talents and progressive ambitions of such a great Nation. As such pushing the non-privileged overwhelming majority of youths towards more and more deeper anguish and hopelessness.

Proud to be Pakistani

@Bob When will we stop judging women by the choice of their clothing? If the sisters wore hijab, would it lessen their achievement in any way? It is their choice whether or not to wear hijab and no one has the right to pass judgments based on what they chose.

Equality for the mostly unprevilaged and ignored female kind can spell success for Pakistan

Good job!

Well done Maryam and Erum - all Pakistanis are proud of you.

Wonderful! Only the sky's the limit for both of them.

Great achievement!! Well done ladies!!

Inspiration for millions of girls in indian sub continent. They should also be equally treated and allowed to excel in all fields. Wish india and pakistan has more girls joining and showing thier talent in all fields..

Well done!! We need more people like you in this country.

@JQ , sad to see you obviously flunked comprehension. The story makes it clear the two sisters fly separately.

we can be proud if pakistan as drinking water.education,health care and othwrt basic facilities for the masses

Terrific. May their tribe increase with the support of the society

Various fields are waiting Pakistani females to exhibit their diversified roles.

Ladies : Salute..

Wonderful clever talented

We are proud of them , stay blessed

Well done. Superb. Congrats. This is the type of role models Pakistan desperately needs.

What a fantastic achievement by these two. I wish to congratulate not only them but their family for raising and supporting two very accomplished individuals. What an outstanding triumph by both sisters. Way to go ladies!

Congrats from India

Kudos to these two brave and intelligent ladies. This is a real and tangible achievement of women of Pakistan. This should work as guiding lights for other females.

@Bob Why? Would you be disappointed if they chose to wear hijab?

Well done!

HEY Girls you are our PRIDE Hope few more follow your footsteps We always will pray for your safe journey

Excellent skills coupled with wonderful look. It is so pleasing to see women in Pakistan going places. Pakistan should be a role model to the world in empowering women.

@Bob --- Hijab, when it's worn as a choice the woman makes herself of her own free will and her own genuine sentiments, is perfectly okay. I say this as a liberal. I believe in freedom of choice, freedom of expression, and personal freedom.

@YOUKNOWIMRIGHT Brother - Understand - same flight or different flight, Post and organisation is same.

@Ashar Brother - Understand - same flight or different flight, Post and organisation is same. You can check the Policy which are signed before joining.

Brilliant. congratulations to them and their parents.

Truly a great achievement. Somehow, somewhere, and in the darkest days of Pakistan, these wonderful and self made Pakistanis shine all the way. Enlightening the whole nation.

congratulations! well done!

Good to hear this. I hope their landings are smooth and soft like the legendary PIA landings. Anyone who has travelled on different airlines will unhesitatingly tell you that PIA's pilots have the smoothest landings in the world. In November 2008, I landed on a PIA 777 in Toronto. The weather was wet and cold, with strong wind gusts across the runway. The pilot made a beautiful, smooth landing, with amazing control over the aircraft's trajectory, as the cross-winds were very powerful. I hope PIA can be revived to its former glory, in all areas.

Congratulations !!! It would inspire others too.

Hearty congratulations to Masood sisters. The lady pilots make me proud. I wish them every success and a bright future.

@AXH Yes, and even The Ex prime Minister BB.

great effort by women in Pakistan from breaking another glass ceiling. Kudos to the sisters ! jai woman shakti.

Wonderful !! Are they twins? Congrats to the sisters and the entire nation.

well done a great achievement shows that woman can succeed even in Pakistan

After Malala these girls have made Pakistan proud. Protect them responsibly and do not treat them the way Malala was treated.

congratulations. proud to learn about two Pakistani sisters flying Boeing 7777 as pilots.
