I'm not sure I would call these folks diseased even though there is a pandemic. I suspect the autocorrect let you down.
I've certainly operated into LHE and KHI a few times and I have a little insight into the culture. Fawad came up with some information from the interview about how long Uzman Azam had been at PIA. After flying the line for seven years he would certainly be experienced enough to know you don't cross the numbers at 210 knots even with a senior captain.
I'm thinking that in some of the early local media coverage there was some discussion of what aircraft the FO had flown and how many hours he had. But, I can't seem to find it at the moment. Anyway, there should be a preliminary report out soon.
