Because they do what US-backed organizations have a history of doing: discriminate based on citizenship when assigning salary/compensation packages.
Also, because this information increases pressure from employees and recruits on their employers/potential employers when it comes to compensation package arrangements.
A Swedish QR FA with just a high school degree makes much more money than an Indian QR FA with a master's degree. The discrepancy is already known to exist but the extent of it may have not been as widely known common knowledge.
I can see why QR is sensitive about it, but I hope QR loses this battle.
Hasn't FT been asked by airline lawyers to remove stuff from FT? Yes. Did they demand and get user info as a result of that? Not sure, but at least in part QR seems to be following a path already at least partially taken by US airlines to remove and keep off information of the sort that the company considers to be proprietary info swiped without authorization.
