VANISHING ACTS: PIA CREW MEMBERS DISAPPEAR MID-FLIGHT TO CANADA
Cruising Heights
|March 2024
PIA is embarrassed by the number of cabin crew who disappear and seek a asylum in Canada. It has now almost become an epidemic A special report.
-
Picture this: a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight lands in Canada, and the cabin crew members scatter like startled pigeons. But it's not a game of hide-and-seek; it's a full-blown vanishing act. The latest escape artist? Well, well, well, looks like PIA's Maryam Raza decided to take her job to new heights-literally! After landing in Canada, she pulled a disappearing act that would make escape artist and illusionist Harry Houdini proud. No, seriously, she vanished into thin air, leaving her uniform behind with a cheeky note: "Thank you, PIA."
Now, let's break this down. Maryam, our Houdini in heels, was a seasoned air hostess with 15 years of experience at PIA. She travelled to Canada aboard flight PK-782 from Islamabad to Toronto. But when it came time for the return flight to Karachi, she pulled a David Copperfield-poof! Gone. Authorities stormed her hotel room, expecting to find a secret portal to Narnia or at least a stash of airline peanuts. Instead, they discovered her uniform neatly folded, like a magician's cape after a grand illusion.
But why the disappearing act, Maryam? Was it the in-flight meals? The turbulence? The relentless cries of "Are we there yet?" from passengers? Nope. She had a message for PIA: "Thank you." Yes, that's right. A polite exit note, as if she'd just finished a delightful tea party with the Queen.
