Who will pay to make all this come true ? NOBODY wants to invest in PIA if they do not get the control of the management

PIA has an endless flow of passengers meaning nonstop flowing revenue,even whilst bigger airlines take thousands of passengers to/from Pakistan daily. PIA is in a fly or die situation. Instead of hiring corrupt individuals,encouraging political interference and despicably poor service from the ground up and being an International laughing stock,PIA needs to shape up big time. Responsibility,Honesty,Reliability,Super Friendly Service and excellent fares should be PIA's foundation.

If PIA cannot invest in the passenger and put the passenger first,then passengers will put other airlines first. It is simple.
Passengers have immense choice to/from Pakistan. PIA is not the only airline and has a lot of work to do to make it the people's choice again.

Look at Turkish Airlines,4 flights a day to/from Pakistan with impeccable service,cheap fares,amazing Halal meals and IFE,superbly caring cabin crew,global connections,generous baggage allowance and frequent flyer programme the list is endless...PIA should have joined hands with Turkish whilst it had the chance,instead of PIA employees jumping up to high Heaven in protest and stopping the alliance. PIA could have kept LHR/MAN/BHX/OSL/CPH/CDG/MXP/AMS/FRA/GLA/BCN/JFK/YYZ/BJS/NRT/BKK/KUL/HKG/DXB/JED/RUH/DMM/BAH/AUH/DOH and let Turkish handle the rest as PIA can really only succeed on select routes and be a niche carrier.

PIA could easily,by now, have been a super lean airline and be a part of Star Alliance. Allah bless PIA. Mr Hildebrand is certainly moving PIA in teh right direction.

Why complicate the names of cabin classes?
Better things can be done.

PIA needs to heavily rebuild it's once Golden image and excite existIng passengers to choose the airline whilst encouraging a brand new set of savvy and service conscious passengers.

Having Branded Cabins will make PIA look like a serious competitor to the world. Even Emirates,Qatar,Oman Air etc do not have branded cabins.
PIA is focusing on becoming the number 1 choice to/from Pakistan. A new or previous passenger should be encouraged enough to fly with PIA. Branding is therefore crucial.

Challenge the norm Mr A310 ...soon to be A330 :)
