PIA Fires 50 Employees with Fake Degrees

Some 50 Pakistan International Airlines employees, including three pilots, were terminated by the national carrier over the weekend.

The staffers were fired due to their fake academic degrees. According to the spokesperson for PIA Mashood Tajwar, the company has started a probe into the matter of fake degrees. As part of the probe those employees found guilty of the crime will be held accountable.

“We have begun probe into [the cases of] all staffers who were hired [while] holding sham degrees,”

Additionally, those with fake degrees are now facing increased scrutiny. This is due to Director General of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Hassan Baig who has also started a crackdown of his own against fake degree holders
