I'm just curious. The airline implied it was policy. Any A380 crews care to comment? I agree that certain events can be used to promote a company, but the "that's what's you get for not flying QF" tone of the press release (which I can no longer find) was in particular bad taste, especially when it appears it may not be their policy and that was released at the very moment QF2 was over Iraq. Just bad timing, distasteful and factually misrepresented. I'd love someone to prove me wrong - so if anyone can then please let me know. I don't find most marketing offensive. I liked the Spirit MILF sale and the many controversial Ryanair ads but this spin by QF was in particular bad taste.
