10 years ago, There was a recruitment ban in place on the freighter . Three Australian pilots joined the B747, contrary to the ban. They then transferred to KA Airbus , Hong Kong on full B scale package.
At least one of them is now a A320 TRI. Yes, a TRI ffs.
So the motto in ka is, no one gives a f#$$# , you will get promoted if you are slippery enough.
And why a training ban, and not contract compliance?
