Partly Facetious : PIA needs capacity building

"I would like to say with extreme trepidation and no disrespect that ILS..."

"ILS as in Instrument Landing System! Let me inform you that our pilots are competent, it's the Pakistan International Airlines management that needs capacity building."

"What about appointing Zulfikar Bukhari as PIA Chairman?"

"I don't think he has the necessary qualifications."

"I wasn't aware that is a relevant consideration..."

"You mean not these days?"

"I mean not now and not ever in this country, besides did you bother to check his qualifications and experience on the web?"

"His presence is non-existent on the web; however, his personal twitter account says he is an entrepreneur; all ye who have to request an audience with the decision makers learn from ZB what is the right way to..."

"Shush, be careful. Anyway his twitter account also states that he is a cricket enthusiast and perhaps that is what drew The Khan..."

"He is much younger than The Khan so I would reckon that The Khan probably had retired long before ZB became interested in cricket."

"You reckon it was politics and not cricket that was the pull?"

"Yes, The Khan likes him and trusts him, need I remind you that The Khan also likes the Governor State Bank and I find the two men look alike a bit."

"I don't think The Khan is so shallow that he selects on the basis of looks. Anyway ZBs twitter account notes that he is special assistant to the PM on overseas Pakistanis and his main achievement has been to get British Air to begin flights again here which is why I reckon he is qualified to be Chairman PIA."

"BA is asking for special incentives last I heard..."

"In Pakistan everyone who is anyone gets special incentives so why not British Air!"

"Indeed, anyway ZB tweeted on 15 October that PM@ ImranKhan told the 11-yr old Prince William last he met him "I'm going to be the Prime Minister of Pakistan", today he hosted him. A warm welcome to Royal Couple to the hospitality of BeautifulPakistan @KensingtonRoyal."

"That is appropriate - ZB is also Chairman National Tourism Coord Board."

"OK, but that brings me back to ILS which stands for Ijaz Lockdown Shah."

"Ha ha, Mr Lockdown has locked down the capital city - D Chowk has been shut down for over a month now though how that prepares the government to ensure that The Maulana's yellow brigade doesn't reach D Chowk two weeks later is beyond me."

"Lay off him, he is a retired Brigadier and you know in the army preemption is the name of the game and so his training..."

"He was also Punjab's home secretary and then head of IB during the Musharraf era, appointed High Commissioner to Australia in 2004 and rejected by the dratted Australians..."

"You being facetious!"

"As Interior Minister he can take away the blocking of a public road by the Aussies and..."

"Maybe later, right now its Maulana or bust."
