just raining on the parade....
...sorry, but a shiny new aircraft and an obsequious article do not a decent airline make.
Ever read the AirlinerWorld article on GF?
"We're going to be profitable by 199x"
"We haven't ruled out going back to NYC"
"We are going to refurbish all the fleet"
etcetera, etcetera.
If you want 'Media Interest in Qatar Airways', how about:
1. CEO driving BMW accross the DOH ramp in violation of ramp operations rules.
2. CEO 'borrowing' tugs and other equipment from other airlines so that QR can get on time departures
3. Intimidation of local GSA's and airline representatives (particularly Far Eastern competitors).
I'm sorry you two, but I know you believe the sun shines out of QR and AAB's collective backsides, but there are some things seriously wrong with the way the airline is run.
