The company I used to work for used QFE for many years. There is a certain sense in the altimeter reading zero when the wheels are on the ground. However as our operations extended further and further from the UK it became almost impossible to get QFE out of some locations and even some places in mainland Europe you asked for QFE and had time to make a cup of tea while they worked it out. In the end we admitted defeat and for standardisation moved entirely to QNH approaches.
