It's not that easy to go from QR to EK or EY. Even going to another airline can be extremely hard as they have wonderful little regulations that forbids you from leaving the country without the proper permission! Also on a fair note. Many crew from 9W go to QR! Also keep in mind 9W wasn't too fair on the crew a couple of weeks ago when they dismissed their contracts and asked them not to come back!
People will never stop applying and accepting the conditions with QR. The management also knows of this and is very much pleased! QR is performing a huge recruitment drive through Australia and Europe, after a long recruitment freeze on these continents, and it's sad to see that many enthusiastic people will be wasting their time and money to go there. I spoke to a guy a couple of weeks ago and he only laughed and said it can't be that bad when I told him what I, and many other crew, had to go through down there. Best of luck to him as he is down there doing his training!
A bit of Western influence in the airline will only do good. It has been managed poorly the last few years!
