no personal bashing please......cyrilroy..totally like your posting...i am all for totally result orientated and dynamic driven boss than a paper qualified chair person..shortcomings happens everywhere but final results counts.in short span of 14 yrs this airline turned around to be a major player..surely something the CEO doing is right...many airlines with plenty of public money splashed into just turned sour...RBA,AIR INDIA,INDIAN AIRLINES,GULF,..ETC....
as when the oil/gas turned into money dries up..well once again its not for us to worry about..its for the goverment of QATAR..and i believe the gas is for another 300 yrs..so...plenty of time..by the way..the budget for the country would not be from oil industry from 2020..its from foreign investments...
NDIA..ah hah..thats another story..its again about contract awarding to the wrong contractors over the years..nothing to do with the CEO..but the local agency that awarded and monitored the contract..
lets stick to the topic of IATA...and lets get IATA to open up and be more transparent...as for QR being transparent..just hold on till 2013 for public offering..then all your questions would be answered..as for now..ITS STILL A PRIVATELY OWNED AIRLINE...
