I have a flight attendant friend, that was friends with another QR FA. And she said it was all true. I think the same is similar for EK and the Etihad. I have a pilot a pilot friend there too, and would love to hear his take. Of course, he's probably gotta be careful about saying too much. The story about over boiling the water just baffled me. After reading this it makes me never want to fly these airlines. They are really trying to take over the world, by even flying domestic markets here in the US.
