World's most overstaffed airline can't find stranded passengers
The world’s least productive airline has lost track of passengers that may be stranded anywhere from New York to Beijing. Workers at Pakistan International Airlines have been on strike over the past week, prompting the carrier to cancel more than 200 flights. Each of its 15,000 full-time employees earns the airline US$584 a year, the lowest among 72 global peers -- making it the world’s most overstaffed by this measure. "We have no data available on how many and where passengers with confirmed PIA tickets are waiting, because the entire system is shut, servers are down and no booking is being done," a spokesman said. The crisis at the airline shows no sign of abating as labour leaders pressure prime minister Nawaz Sharif to halt plans to sell a 26% stake. <br/>
