When asked if the airline gave enough notice to schedule access to the gate, Gunter Saurwein, Qatar Airways' vice president for the Americas, smiled and said, "In general yes, we gave some lead time that we would be here."
When asked if Delta may have deliberately prevented Qatar from using the gate, Sawrwein said, "I do not want to comment on that. We as an airline don't finger point."
Uh, what?
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker branded Delta Air Lines Inc. “wicked” over what he said was the U.S. carrier’s part in ruining the Middle Eastern company’s first flight from Doha to Atlanta.
Al Baker is always on TV whining about how hard done by he is. How is that not finger pointing?
Like petulant children.
