Wow, one government arm telling another not to do what it didn't want to do anyway. I'm not overly familiar with the reality of this problem and maybe I haven't looked but don't recall seeing any evidence of the severity of it.

All this is accepted practice in the Middle East, just a way of life, akin to financial bullying. I haven't heard or read reports from any of the other A350 operators having similar problems, for example SIA and CPA which between them operate 98 of type. Maybe Qatar are just washing them with the wrong shampoo !!!!!!!!
One could entertain the idea that Qatar might 'own' their regulator just like somebody else we know once did?
MH370 must be mad today after reading this LOL
He probably had to change his diapers twice!
delaying tactics of orders with out being find from qatar airlines but most people can see straight through them poor show.
