Thank god His Royal Highness Mian Muhammad Nawaz Shareef did not order the installation of eight club class seats on each of the 737s.

Can we expect to see the 737s in PIA livery if wet-leased?
Yes, it can be if PIA is willing to do so :roll: . FLYNAS has wet leased two B737-800s from FLYPEGASUS & both are operating in FLYNAS livery.

Aircraft usually retain colours of leasing company in case of short wet lease term. Changing colours of aircraft on short term wet lease is waste of money.

Maybe small stickers reading "Operated for PIA" or "Leased to PIA" with PIA logo prominently visible to boarding passengers can be pasted near cabin doors of Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737-800s to assure passengers that they are travelling on PIA flight.

It doesn't help PIA's image when the average passenger boards. They'll obviously notice neither the interior, nor the crew, nor the exterior is Pakistani, and in a time when PIA really needs to restore trust, people will feel like they truly are flying Pegasus. At least with a dry lease the crew and exterior is PIA, so the inside can be passed as a PIA interior too.
