well actaully, having a pure civilian in AirBlue is rear as over 85% of their crew are ex-PAF, captains and FOs. the Captain on the flight was one of the few non military guys in the outfit. and there is not such rift between military and non military guys.
for Shaheen Int'l, almsot all their crew is ex PAF, but ofcourse that airline was started by the minstry of defence for ex Military pilots
