Come on Kiddos lets play nice, What I mean by kiddos is Qatar and Delta. You both need to just get off each others cases and join one force. That is create a Alliance that will get passangers to from point a to point b in both comfort and cleanliness then sit around and grab each others throats and talk trash about one another. Where is that going to get you both.
He's got a point. The AVERAGE age of Qatar's planes is almost HALF that of Delta's NEWEST planes.
