Re: PIA Hiring Chief Executive
Please don't tell me they're doing away with Mr. Hildenbrand. If so, PIA needs to see what they're doing. It was said in the article posted by Abbas "He regretted that a foreigner had been appointed chief executive officers of PIA, which was tantamount to discouraging its senior management."

Re: PIA Hiring Chief Executive
I doubt whether any of these Pakistanis that is sitting in the current management team will do anything better, with some of them having fake degrees and even more political influence. Even if he is not qualified to be a CEO it is clear that he has far more experience as opposed to what we have and what we have had in the past.Pakistan-1 wrote:No it wouldn't be , he's just a puppet of someone else as he is not qualified to be a CEO he was a station manager at LH in Singapore before going to PKAbdulrafeysiddiqui wrote:If he becomes CEO, it would be good!
It is clear that we need a leader, not someone who is highly qualified and still can't do anything as we have been witnessing from the last decade.
All The Way, It's PIA
