It appears now that Airbus simply wont take any sh*t from Qatar and has cancelled a 50 aircraft order. Furthermore, Boeing will now have the upper hand with any future negotiations as there is no competitor for them to worry about.
You reap what you sow. This is no 5 star airline.

Agreed. There was a brief period back in 2015-2017 that we actually had a good thing going here, but things went South after that. A continuous erosion of conditions since then. 2022 is going to be interesting with all the crew that are planning on leaving...
Now Airbus raises the stakes in this fiasco. What will happen to outstanding 350 orders? many more still to be delivered.
Keeping you guys busy on 787? We are flat out on triple.
