Pakistan International Airlines Grounds Third Of Pilots After Crash That Killed 98 People
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article in The Times.
This paragraph chilled me.
Pilots without adequate experience and technical knowledge obtained their qualifications by paying others to take their examinations, officials said.
I don’t think Pakistan International Airlines will be high on my list of preferred airlines.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

That is appalling – but I bet it isn’t only in Pakistan that it is happening. I used to invigilate exams at the local 6th form college, and all students had to have photo ID in case there’re were any substitute students. I don’t see the point, because if you haven’t got the knowledge bas, you can’t do whatever the qualification qualifies you to actually do.
