“PIA acknowledges the AAIB report and has already taken measures learning from it. An independent Flight Data Monitoring setup established to monitor & analyze all flights. All pilots with dubious licenses will be grounded. Safety is more imp. than any commercial interest.”
I truly hope that is the case, but surely an Airline of the size of PIA already has a flight safety department? What were they doing? twiddling their thumbs? Have they ever pulled a QAR? Forgive me if I have absolutely no faith in anything they say.
What happened here was a "could you land an airliner if the pilots died" challenge.
A Calm and rational passenger with radio contact would have done far better simply with the automatics than those two clowns.
