I did some IT consultancy work for Egyptair, based in the UK. I was appalled by the attitude of their staff to their airline and its customers, and the general lack of professionalism. When my employer asked me to go to Cairo to continue the project there, my condition was as long as I did not have to fly on Egyptair. Apart from Cubana this is the only time in my 30 year career in the airline industry that I have refused to fly on an airline for safety reasons, and I've flown on some pretty dodgy airlines in West and Central Africa, and Central Asia, (although I might add that the choice was road transport).

By the way the Egypt Air announcement which GBB posted on 19th July is a copy of the original Air Zimbabwe one from Radio Highveld YouTube - Air Zimbabwe
