Re: Task Force Formed to Cut PIA Expenditures
The most difficult decision is to propose and execute laying off of unnecessary human resource. Does this committee and the government with elections looming around have the guts to do that.

Re: Task Force Formed to Cut PIA Expenditures
BIG EXPENSES
BANK INTEREST Cannot cut unless you pay off the debt.
SALARIES Cannot cut unless you remove the unionized staff
FUEL If you cut fuel cost you cut revenue which is already reduced thanks to PIA shutting half its international network.
ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE Only if you want your fleet grounded and banned from most countries
THE PIA MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO THINK OF WAYS TO INCREASE CARGO AND PASSENGER REVENUE, INCREASE LOAD FACTOR WHY FLY EMPTY SEATS FILL THEM WITH PASSENGERS EVEN PAYING LESS FARE.
Increasing revenue is crucial cutting cost will only hurt the airline.
