The big question is will the company do anything about this adverse publicity? I think the only thing that will force their hand is the regulators in countries they overfly/operate to start making moves to penalise/ban them. Without this happening nothing will change as they're clearly saving a lot of $$$ with these unsafe practices.
EASA has nothing to lose, meanwhile Airbus has nothing to lose, What will happen in the time to come will be very interesting... On the Contrary, Did anyone hear about CC Sickout on 5th Feb? That would be a show to watch...
You Reap What you Sow.
Only half a speed-brake
Hate to play the devil's advocate but stakeholders of EASA still have something to lose if the relationship with Qatari goes awry who have a lot of vested interest plus a solid motivation, also non-financial.
EU has painted itself into dependency on natural gas of which Qatar is the largest exporter. Qataris need to keep growing strong to secure their own nation and bloodline future among the dogs in their region. (I personally think those two are actually linked). Own worldwide airline is a powerful tool in the box.
What large EU industries do Qatari already own? I did not research but sure it is much wider than IAG and BAA. Also the non-aviation ones!
