I suspect they REALLY hated that aircraft.

Otherwise, local office party, what's the big deal??

Camel sacrifice shocks Turkish Airlines

"Turkish Airlines took swift disciplinary action Wednesday after it emerged that members of its technical staff had sacrificed a camel to celebrate getting their job done.

Maintenance workers all pitched in to buy the beast to mark the long-awaited dispatch to Britain of the last of 11 RJ100 aircraft which Turkish decided to leave out of its fleet due to a series of accidents involving the planes.

The camel was sacrificed Tuesday at Istanbul's Ataturk airport and about 1,540 pounds of meat was distributed among the staff.

The event surfaced when several newspapers ran the story along with photographs of the camel being led into the airport grounds and of workers holding up bloody pieces of meat after the sacrifice."

Yeah, I saw a few of those in Doha. The meat is usually either shared among the members of the family or given to the poor.

Which was one of many reasons why lamb and mutton were so common there
