It is confirmed that only one EX-QR csd (HT) is working at Etihad and not any other yet.plus another EX QR CSD (GD) has got the job and starting early next year in a different role.
Crew who are already employed with QR has not been given the job.there obviously is a QR-Etihad ban.
Regarding 53 Resignations,..thats not true,it is however true many crew including Senior grades left the company,but not as many as 53.
