@ Sandy: "QR is a better airline than GF
ever was".
Heard a poor A320/A330 chap who left GF recently for DEC at QR was sacked by QR with no reason given. Just "order from higher authority".
At least if someone gets sacked in GF, a reason is always given.
Judging from your comment you're either young or haven't been in the gulf long enough.
More A/C and Destinations =/= Better airline than GF
ever was.
