PIA was working better with German CEO. Musharaf Rasul is just another incompetent guy who talks big.

He’s a media w*ore basically!

It would be really good if we mind our language, specially on a public forum.

What ever the CEO is doing or what ever his personality is, we shouldn't say anything bad.

BHV has been spotted today outside of hangar with a fresh coat of paint. Probably going to be up and flying very soon. BMH also got PIA titles on forward fuselage recently as seen on FB.
