Faisal Younis, brother of the Pakistani coach, Waqar Younis, has no problem working as a pilot of the Pakistan International Airline (PIA), even though his degree has been proven as fake! The news of his fake degree didn’t seem to alarm the PIA authorities and Faisal continues to enjoy the privilege of captaining the crew of Pakistan International airlines.
Faisal joined PIA in 2003 as a pilot. According to the records of the Public Accounts Committee, his degree was proven as fake, but he was not disqualified from his job and was allowed to serve but with his pilot’s seniority rank being decreases by three years. The justification given by the authorities was that inspite of his fake degree, Faisal has proven himself as an expert pilot and he was the first to fly the 777 plane.[junkie-alert style=”white”] Is it justified to give Faisal Younis privelege inspite of a fake degree because PIA is not ready to let him go?

Mehmood Khan Achakzai, member of the national assembly, had a different opinion and he urged that Faisal should be disqualified from his service. The secretary of civil aviation stated that disbarring him was a difficult decision for PIA, as a lot of resources and time had been spent on the training of Faisal Younis.
