Regarding the Qatar Airways ground Crew,
I had a very pleasant experience the last time I flew QA. They were very polite, they helped me re-arrange my baggage (one weighed more than the prescribed 32 kgs). I guess you need to be a little early to get good service from any airline. If you pop in at the last minute, you tend to get roughed up as they are all busy with too many things to handle. For me it is just the cost differential that would justify BA over QA.
