Sure I could have eaten the miles, but it wasn't within our budget to do so. I also contact QR via phone which I failed to mention, but could not get through to an agent before takeoff.
It might be your personality. I fly out of DPS on QR pretty regularly and have never had an unpleasant encounter with ground staff. I had to deal with the station manager once last year due to a delayed outbound flight with a potential for a missed connection in DOH. I thought he handled my concerns professionally and politely.
