PIA will not end up in 1989.
For those of you you who don't know/remember Qantas longhaul pilots were not directly involved in 1989.
1966 was the last Qantas pilot strike, this situation is more like that, EXCEPT we now have PIA.
Once all the sabre rattling dies down it will boil down to secure jobs/ or war.
It is not about huge pay rises!
