Depends on which side of the fence you're on from a ride share service perspective. Every business model has its flaws. PIA is running too fat because of the political hiring. It should go into lean startup mode.
Even Etihad is running in a loss:
The Abu Dhabi state-owned airline blamed challenging market conditions including higher fuel prices for a $1.28 billion loss in 2018, narrower than the $1.52 billion it lost in 2017.

Going by this; with the brightest minds running Etihad and essentially catering to majority of the traffic in the nearby region and beyond; what makes you think PIA is gonna scale and make a profit?
I'd agree with you if you'd say shut the airline because there is no point in running it at a loss. We know the answer though to that one.
Funnily; on techcrunch today:

I'd rather be nice and say oblivious to the facts.
