is that even an excuse?

PIA, no matter how much degraded their service is becoming, are still the best people to fly with! Everything said and done, they atleast get their air-craft off the fricking ground! The AirBlue (AB406) aircraft was called back from the runway after starting its journey down the strip (on July 1st) not once but twice in succession and managed to take off only about six hours later. And here’s the excuse and explained by the captain.

“Dear passengers, we would like to inform you that there is nothing wrong with the aircraft you are now sitting in. We have been recalled to take documents belonging to another aircraft in our fleet”.

Hello? Anyone heard of TCS?

Oh and FYI, and AirBlue is the ‘preferred(?)’ way for TCS to take shipments between atleast khi to isb, as almost on every flight on that airline, there is someone standing by who picks up large jute bags of parcels from the baggage claims area marked TCS. I wonder how they make it on time…?

    oh…I don’t sleep on planes as well. I always buy an amazing book JUST for the travel and read that during the flight..sometimes 2..if you don’t count that time I did buy a book, but since I was going to Pak for my wedding, I spent more time staring at my fiance’s pic IN the book. :P Turns out, I still have the book….and…. :P
