Working after work hours is something that not everyone likes do to. But not everyone has the courage to refuse to work after work shift has ended.

A Pakistan pilot refused to complete a journey because his shift had ended after the plane had to make an emergency landing. A plan with Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), the country’s national air carrier, was scheduled to take off from Riyadh in Saudi Arabia for Islamabad on Sunday.

The passengers on the flight got irritated due to the pilot's reasoning for not flying the plane to its destination. They refused to get off the plane in protest.

Eventually, authorities at the airport had to call in security to bring the situation under control. Hotel arrangements were made for the passengers at the airport.

The PIA spokesperson told The Express Tribune, "It is necessary for the pilots to take proper rest prior to flying for flight safety so arrangements were made in this regard."
