Picture this: a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight lands in Canada, and the cabin crew members scatter like startled pigeons. But it's not a game of hide-and-seek; it's a full-blown vanishing act. The latest escape artist? Well, well, well, looks like PIA's Maryam Raza decided to take her job to new heights-literally! After landing in Canada, she pulled a disappearing act that would make escape artist and illusionist Harry Houdini proud. No, seriously, she vanished into thin air, leaving her uniform behind with a cheeky note: "Thank you, PIA."
Now, let's break this down. Maryam, our Houdini in heels, was a seasoned air hostess with 15 years of experience at PIA. She travelled to Canada aboard flight PK-782 from Islamabad to Toronto. But when it came time for the return flight to Karachi, she pulled a David Copperfield-poof! Gone. Authorities stormed her hotel room, expecting to find a secret portal to Narnia or at least a stash of airline peanuts. Instead, they discovered her uniform neatly folded, like a magician's cape after a grand illusion.
But why the disappearing act, Maryam? Was it the in-flight meals? The turbulence? The relentless cries of "Are we there yet?" from passengers? Nope. She had a message for PIA: "Thank you." Yes, that's right. A polite exit note, as if she'd just finished a delightful tea party with the Queen.
And if you think that's wild, get this: apparently, it's becoming a trend! You need to hold onto your seatbelts, folks, because this isn't the first time someone's gone AWOL (absent without official leave) mid-flight, and before you go blaming PIA for losing their staff faster than a magician's assistant, the airline's spokesman had an interesting theory. He reckons it's all down to Canada's super chill asylum laws. Yup, apparently, once you step foot in the land of maple leaves and mounties, you've got a shot at asylum faster than you can say "eh?"
