PIA steward goes missing in Canada
77
RAWALPINDI: A flight steward of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) reportedly went missing in Canada soon after the airline’s flight PK-798 landed in Toronto on Friday.
According to sources, the steward boarded the PIA flight from Islamabad and disappeared after reaching Toronto. The matter was brought to the notice of PIA’s station manager in Canada who later informed the airport authority about the flight attendant’s absence without intimating his seniors.
The sources said the airline management had taken notice of the matter and launched a departmental inquiry into disappearance of the crew member. PIA also informed the Canadian immigration authorities about the missing of the crew member.
A spokesman for PIA said on Sunday that the steward had gone missing on Friday after the flight landed in Toronto. “He has still been missing,” he added.

Soon the steward will take asylum in Canada.
If stewards experience such a low quality of life then what it would be for an average citizen in naya pakistan?

The first thing you do is a police report. May be he has suffered some accident. Not the immigration office. This tell a lot about what you care safety of your citizens or him running away.

Living conditions in other part of the country are worst than assuming this missing person is from. People in other parts obey law and respect thier mother land. This is an act of greed and selfishness by tornishing the name of country. He will get caught but on return nothing will happen.
