A twitter user highlights the issue, says, this does not prove anything. Let the process run its course. Rushing to judgment with incomplete information and tarnishing people’s credibility and achievement must be avoided.
Does not mean the licenses are fake. Please let the process run its course. Rushing to judgement with incomplete information and tarnishing people’s credibility and achievement must be avoided.

The pilot sisters in 2016 were applauded for becoming the first pair to fly aircraft Boeing 777 concurrently. History was made as there was no record of two sisters simultaneously flying the same weight category aircraft.
PIA spokesman Danyal Gilani said: “There is no known record of two real sisters having flown the same weight category aircraft concurrently.”
He added: “History was made when Erum was upgraded to fly a B-777.”
Last year, one of the sisters, Maryam Masood, had made it to the headlines again. Reportedly, Maryam was flying an aircraft scheduled to take off from Islamabad to Gilgit that skidded on the runway. Urine tests were done, and later the pilot was grounded.
