So, they are privatizing the Air Port? I think they should first privatize the financial sector.

Sell PIA with liabilities summed up to 300 billion. Every year their performance is judged based on how much losses they have reduced. An airliner where there's an average of 780 people per aircraft and most of them being an ATR! Unions asking to raise their pay and retirement age from 60 to 65! Most of their international offices are closed and services both in-flight or ground, well everyone knows it, who in their right mind will buy PIA? Even to sell it they have to either write off all those loans, buy some fuel efficient aircrafts on dry or wet loans, depoliticize hiring process and make lots of people redundant! Phir shayad main khareed loon :p

just let pilots go on strike. They want to lose employees anyway.

Those who stay will be enough to keep PIA airborne. But most likely those unions are just being bully and will give in, considering Pakistan can hire international workers and operate more effictiently (filipinos etc)
