Government school teachers, government hospital doctors, policemen across the country and PIA flight attendants all have one thing in common. They are hired, posted and promoted on the basis of who they know. And who they know, most often, is a politician or a general. This bhai chaara, or brotherly love, is a national calamity – and it cannot be mitigated by tweaking at the margins. Yet tweaking at the margins is all that the current system seems capable of. Despite the new air czar, the new aviation division and the shiny new PIA board, on July 15, the brotherly love at PIA was once again in full effect. Two relatives of a senior PML-N figure were promoted, with full back pay since 2007. If this is the new government’s idea of how to turn a profit at PIA, we shouldn’t hold our breath on loadshedding or terrorism. Those who can’t solve the less complex problems have no chance at solving the more complex ones.
