'They'll never fly again': Pakistan grounds 150 pilots over alleged fake licences

Pakistan's state-run airline is grounding 150 pilots, accusing them of obtaining licences by having others take exams for them after a probe into last month's crash that killed 97 people in Karachi.

"We will make it sure that such unqualified pilots never fly aircraft again," he told the Associated Press on Thursday. He said the safety of passengers was the airline's top priority. Neither Mr Khan nor Mr Hafeez released additional details about the alleged methods used by the pilots to wrongfully obtain licences to fly commercial planes. Mr Khan said only they did not take examinations themselves to get the required certificates, which are issued by the civil aviation authority.

Pilots in fatal Pakistan plane crash were distracted by coronavirus, minister saysThe pilots of a Pakistan airliner that crashed last month, killing 97 people, were distracted and preoccupied as they talked about the coronavirus pandemic, the country's aviation minister says. And it was their second attempt! First time, undercarriage up, and they scraped along the runway on the engine nacelles. Incompetent. Hmm... So the crew acted like school children and forgot how to properly fly the plane because they were upset about Covid19. Sure... Now I have to go outside and watch the nightly fly-by of pigs. Can’t say I believe this one.
