Great story made me laugh you should be a novelist with what your writing. Yes in some respect I agree QR could be a great airline, I thought that for 3 1/2 years and finally things were still the same yes the airline was expanding but the rules/rumours/fear factor were still the same. And by all expectations it still is.
Have heard from large amounts of friends still in QR that the 'Bouncer from MotherCare' is threating people who write on hear that they will be sacked as he is getting CID to investigate. Chevy you must have been one of the lucky one's not to be called in yet am sure it will happen.
Doha is a great place and QR could be too, no its not EK and never will be even back in the early days EK was nothing like QR sure they had their problems at the start but they were and still are a fantastic airline.
Have fun guys/girls in QR but watch your back the bouncer from mothercare might behind the door'
