Pakistan Air Line Pilots Association (PALPA) has reportedly been cut down in size by the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) management.
Reportedly, some of the pilots discussed amongst themselves to create issues for the government and the airline cancelling flights at the last minute. However, as per reports of Baaghi TV, the PIA management has played a genius master-stroke against them by bringing in new pilots.
