IT emerged in the Supreme Court hearing that PIA’s aircraft-to-employee ratio is 1:570.

Its not an airline but an employment exchange. And this reflects on all aspects of its service and profitability.

All the appointments over and above the requirements are made on political basis and union strength who do not have any sumpathicity with the orginzation or nation. The same situation is with Railway and steel Mill and many other departments.
