The Pakistan Airlines Pilots Association (PALPA) has rejected the order for a reduction in the salaries and benefits of its privileged employees.
On Wednesday, the PALPA spokesperson renounced the order issued by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), calling it “illegal” and “unjust.” He declared it to be a violation of the international laws of flight security.
PALPA has also announced a protest against this order and is considering taking legal action against the national airline.
