Pakistan Islamic Airlines (PIA)!

On recent travels on Emirates it was noticeable that they have stopped playing 'dua e safar'.

Pakistanis never miss a chance to shove their version of Islam in each other's face!

Increase in revenue through this gimmick is going to be a big fat zero.

Airline should be neutral as all sorts of people travel on it, unless in Naya Pakistan only muslims get to suffer the misery of travelling on PIA.

They need to have other priorities like newever aircraft or overall refurbishment and upkeep of IFE systens.. i have noticed passengers complaining about this new initiative of CEO.. saying its too loud and seems preachy.
