PIA, the national airline of Pakistan, has long been criticized for its insecurity, business losses due to corruption and the status of "descendants".

The European Union (EU) suspension of operations of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) in member countries of the bloc for at least 6 months, starting from July 1, is the latest blow to the airline.

Before the plane crash on May 22 and the subsequent investigation uncovered many pilots thanks to their driver's license test, PIA was a notorious airline with bulky personnel apparatus, control processes.

In 2018, the Pakistan Supreme Court dismissed Musharraf Rasool from the position of PIA executive director for failing to meet work standards and inexperience in aviation.

Arshad Malik, the current chief executive of PIA, used to be the Pakistani air force general.

Despite relentless efforts to revive the PIA, Pakistani officials say the company still loses about 6 billion rupees ($ 36 million) per month, citing its financial situation as a "bottomless pit".

Speaking to Pakistan's parliament on June 24, Civil Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan said on the PIA flight PK 8303 on May 22, "the captain and his co-pilot were not focused.

Minister Khan further revealed that 262 out of 860 pilots employed by Pakistani airlines hired test takers for a license and were incompetent.

The Pakistan pilot license test system was changed in 2012 and is accused of failing to comply with management standards.

The fake scandal has caused many airlines around the world to suspend pilots, engineers and ground staff from Pakistan.

The Pakistani pilots themselves also feel discontented.

Hamood Alam, a former PIA employee who now works for another airline in the Middle East, said he had never felt so "ashamed, humiliated and angry".

"Even competent pilots don't follow the operation procedure. However, the public only knows this situation when it leaves a tragic accident. It's a miracle that we don't

The former PIA employee judged that the accident stemmed from "a problem rooted in society, because the elites and the authorities fully believed that they could get rid of any trouble, and every rule.

He pointed out that on the PK 8303 flight, the two pilots talked about a sideline topic, while as a rule, when the plane was below the height of 3,048 m, crew members were not allowed to exchange any information.

Opposition and critics have criticized the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan handling the crisis unwise and humiliating Pakistan.

"The government's statements are most likely not true and the Minister of Aviation should not have been so public. His statement has confused the international community and put hundreds of people at risk.
