Although QA CEO have management flaws, No one can deny how he has turn one of the worst airline in the region (back in the 90's) into what it have became. The guy took in so many challenges.He elevated the airline status while coping with the Qatari society . With the in-society criticism of his role in anti-Qatarization, Not Favoring Qatari passengers, Serving Alcohol(Locals have grilled him over those issues).
Not to mention he barely speaks Arabic & never addressed the local media. Yet he was expected to turn it into an international airline. He had turn an ordinary airline like Saudi or Kuwait airways into a well known name.Maybe he've lost it from being over-pressured.
For those of you who doesn't know. The recent restriction on cabin crew was all because of weekly column in a daily local newspaper questioning the behavior of the cabin crew.
