I fail to see the difference between boycotting an airline because their employee and general rights are allegedly not up to scratch, and the majority of those who are critical of QR buying the petrol refined from oil from these regions, wear designer clothes stitched together by kids in an Asian sweat shop and purchase domestic goods from the likes of China who are hardly squeaky clean with respect to human rights.
So long as the price is right, or we need a specific item, then many of us seem to climb down from the moral high ground when it suits.
