dear Kenuck,
a mate of mine left KQ to join EK 3-4 yrs ago and he reckons it was a mistake(career and money wise). Perhaps you should talk with the ex-KQ crowd over here.
For the rest, lets just say that his wife loves it here! The kids are always up for a trip to NBO and are eager to move back(so is my mate).
Careful what you wish for...
