PIA Management has assured the 530 pilots and First Officers of the airline that their entitlements, perks, benefits and emolument shall not be affected by the implementation of the Essential Services (Maintenance) ACT 1952, PIA spokesman said on Monday.
He said that the Federal government had to enact the Essential Services (Mainten-ance) Act to ensure the airline's flight schedule which remained disturbed during the past few weeks due to the pilots under the influence of Palpa refusing their duties.
Earlier in June 2001 and December 2007 the government had to invoke the Act and on these two previous occasions the act was applicable on all the employees while this time it is only applicable on the cockpit crew as the remaining over 17,000 employees of PIA were following their duty schedules and trying hard to bring the airline to profitability.-PR
