Pakistan? Discipline? Tell 'em they're joking. The only discipline would be for being found out by the rest of the world; as if any normal traveller would use PIA anyway. More likely disciplined for not having more onboard.

So where did they sit? Jumpseats and cockpit? And how were they disciplined?

They didn't sit -- they stood. There were more people than seats.

The staff involved showed such poor judgement, they should be terminated for jeopardizing the safety of the passengers -- not just those without seats, but also those who were seated and restrained.
