It's no wonder the airstair thing raised some eyebrows!

The emergency evacuation in Bangladesh did too. It's not normal 'practice' to have to do an emergency evacuation after a birdstrike on takeoff. Unless you are going VERY fast when you decide to do it, and very bad things happen as a result (which they did on that occasion as I remember).

I worked in the Gulf in the early days of Qatar Airways. I travelled with them a lot, and trips up to London on the old B747-100 SR81's were great. I always thought that the cabin crew in those early days were real 'stars' of the airline.

You really deserved better treatment than you got, and are still getting these days by the sounds of things.
