Hello Riscy,
Not to be misunderstood, I am a big fan of Akbar Al-Baker and think that that his managment style is the best way to prevent a mess such as the GF situation in happening.
If you reread my post you will find out that I say that I don't understand why he got this bad reputation because I always thought that his management style is exactly what is needed for an airline like QR. Please Riscy do a search for the term "Qatar" and see how some users consistently bash AAB.
