First the CEO mentioned all the new Qatar Airways destinations and talked about 3000 entertainment options, Boeing 787 Dreamliners, high-speed internet connections, award-winning services and plenty of legroom. After 45 seconds into the speech he proudly announced the average age of his flight attendants -26 years of age btw- and continued with:
There is no need for you to travel on this crap American carriers. As a business class passenger you know you are always being served by grandmothers at American carriers.
After the well-appreciated jokes the Qatar Airways CEO continued to brag about his airline, but I stopped listening 😉
Certainly these little sidejokes will not improve the current battle between the ME3 carriers (Emirates – Qatar Airways – Etihad) and the US carriers (video: Delta Air Lines on Gulf carrier subsidies).
