Qatari flights for BA

Given that BA have borrowed some A330's I assume the flight crew come with the aircraft
However I also assume CC are not BA as would not be rated on type?

Same with the Titan B737 operated out of Gatwick as BA would not be current

Question is Why are BA currently not able to use their own equipment and crew? I assume it all down to costs ultimately. ..

Suspect that isn’t the whole story. Titan have had an A320 operating BA flights from Gatwick for at least a couple of months and unless there is s long knock on chain it ism’t replacing a 787.

Its operated by by a fully Titan crew and with a better offering than BA with free refreshments and a WiFi system to give free IFE on yr own tablet.

The slots purchased from the demise of Monarch needed filling, or they would of lost them, with no spare aircraft I believe they've wet leased a fair few aircraft. In fact yesterday it looked like just G-POWK + WM, and G-CIXW

Really nice try..but as we know nothing is ever seen as being straightforward or believable if BA are involved...there must b3 dark forces at work..

I’ve obviously imagined the 787’s parked up at BA west base, some a bit short of engines, I’ve obviously imagined the level of work and routes the 747 and 777 have picked up this summer from the 78, and I guess the reports of a certain Gulf airline, member of the IA Group, having excess capacity due to the political situation in that part of the world must be nonsense as well....

If you find yourself on Qatar when you booked BA you should view that as a free upgrade

Only had the Qatar experience during the BA mixed fleet cabin crew strike. As a regular BA club passenger the Qatar equivalent was rather nice

All BA flights from Doha are now flown by QA. Us paid up members of the local self loading cargo fraternity have no complaints about the improved service.
