QR A340s a Piece of s.............t?

According to some person, in some high floor in the QR hq the 340 is junk, boo hoo, maybe because companies with a decent commercial department (not the "we follow EK" gang) as LH IB VS etc..., know that a Big airplane needs a BIG load not 260 pax...

From an airline news website

With regards to its A 346 cabin, QR's CEO has officially confirmed that it will be removing its First Class lounge on board this aircraft and replacing its space with the addition of 44 economy class seats which will increase the capacity of its A 346 by 16% i.e. from 266 to 310 seats.

Maybe it was the frequency reduction to Chinese cities or the whale taking over asian 777/330 routes since new york isnt actually working out. .

Umm no.. I just bid well

I'm sure NYC will work beautifully when they put the correct aeroplane BACK on the route rather then the Beluga.... You must understand that the 380 to JFK is just a flag waving exercise and always has been. I'm damn sure that the commercial dept of EK never wanted to send it there

Well actually the whole thread went off the subject, what caught my attention was the childish comment from a public image of a company blaming an airline manufacturer for his actual mistakes.

He is even saying that aviation world cannot expect that QR comes with A380 equipped with showers bla bla bla...., I think he realized that the lounges on 340 are a huge mistake, basically the sad part is that shortness of maturity and commercial Knowledge are running this company. It's Ok to be ignorant but to make it public to the world well that's another story.......

As White Knight seems to be putting up a bit of a black then clearly he should be renamed Black Knight. He seems to be getting well and truly up peoples noses. I take due note that he has been banned once already due no doubt to juvenile comments and rudeness which he excels in. He is a product of a minor public school. Say no more. I rest my case.

He was once a BAE 146 driver and now he is on big shiny jets it has clearly gone to his head or further down his nether region even.

BAE 146 driver

Typical this lot, once glad to fly a B737 or a A320, or maybe even a a s... 146. And now a big mouth. Looser if he needs to badmouth pilots that try to make a living in these harsh times. Get a life WK (if you have one)
