Let’s hope they didn’t forget to taxi with a single engine only after landing, otherwise QR must enforce disciplinary actions against them.

Don't worry; Qatar has plenty of fuel on hand to use to remind us that it is breast awareness month.

I flew on all female crewed US Airways Express ERJ-145 in 2003. Without checking my records, I think it may have been a Piedmont jet (not the original Piedmont that had 737's and 767-200ER). The two pilots and one flight attendant self identified as female (based on the announcements) and looked like typical females.

If my stewardess ex-wife was involved, it would be QR666.

If it raises more money for brest cancer than it cost then fair enough, if not its a vanity project, would have been better donating money

@Linda, not sure how it's brave?

I hope they remembered to taxi with only a single engine when they landed after burning all that fuel.

Yes, all public transport operators, particularly bus companies, should be “drawing” things with their vehicle paths.

Probably would have been more beneficial to just donate to breast cancer research/care, rather than pay for crew, fuel etc on a flight to nowhere.
But I guess that wouldn’t create us much good publicity for the airline...

Now we know what all the extra fuel was being saved for by taxiing with one engine. https://onemileatatime.com/qatar-airways-threatens-pilots/
