Maybe I’m the only one who finds this interesting, but we’ve finally heard from Qatar Airways’ new CEO, roughly six months into his tenure!
It’s odd, because the Qatari national obviously wasn’t going to go work for another airline, and the speed with which it happened, plus the way the announcement was phrased, made it seem like this wasn’t a voluntary resignation. Admittedly Al Baker was a very polarizing figure who butted heads with a lot of people, but for so long, that seemed to be viewed as a feature and not a bug. 😉
I think we can all agree that this is just a little strange, especially with the lack of any context. Look, I don’t expect an airline to reveal why someone was let go, but even through sources I know, I haven’t even gotten a very good explanation off the record. I mean, I’ve heard some things, but nothing I’m comfortable sharing, because I’m not confident enough in what I’ve heard.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
