I thought it was “airline CUSTOMERS ” hit with water cannons and rubber bullets; )
Love that Lufthansa just added seven different “relax and enjoy” light meals on their long haul first class service to enjoy anytime during the flight. I had the three small veal burgers yesterday mid flight on the A380 from FRA to LAX and they were excellent.
I can’t wait for PIA to be privatized! Oh, the stories I could tell about the service….
And 20,000 employees for less than 40 planes — seriously?
