load factors at QR

It was roseman asked the question of load factors at what cost?

Inside info is that since May this year (after the current commercial ex-GF man taking over), yields have dropped significantly and QR's brake even load factors have supposed to risen closer to 80%.

I found out yesterday that the current load factor on the network is about 68-70%, very much less than to even to cover the cost of operation. I am confident that this is accurate info as my contact is very close to people in commercial.

so we all can see the affect of low ticket prices, and for sure, QR has a vcery high cost base to match its very poor revenue.

I am awaiting some very useful info which maybe of interest to us all here.

Now before anyone accuses us of QR bashing, the comments I have made are reality and causes for concern for every staf and Qatari's like me who are proud of QR (not for their management obviously!).

Peace my rothers!
