In this regard, the Secretary General of the Society of Aircraft Engineers of Pakistan (SAP) had written a letter to the PIA management, in which he expressed concern that the trend of highly skilled aircraft engineers, officer engineers, and technicians leaving the national airline is extremely dangerous.
The letter also pointed out that hundreds of resignations have been received from employees in the last few months, while many other skilled individuals also intend to resign.
The departure of such a large number of skilled personnel from the national organization could cause serious problems for the organization.
