Two pilots among ex-PIA staffers who admit to using fake degrees

LAHORE: Four ex-employees of PIA, including two pilots and a stewardess, have confessed to furnishing fake degrees to get appointed or promoted in the national flag carrier, court documents revealed.

All of them had already been terminated or superannuated when the FIA booked them in 2022, following an audit that transpired the appointments of 457 PIA employees on the basis of fake degrees.

Initially, they denied the charges when they approached a special court seeking pre-arrest bail, which was subsequently granted.
