Hey Utah,
Looking for a walkabout opportunity? There are plenty of people on this ME forum who would love to swap with you. Plenty of Aussies who constantly complain about the "horrible" conditions in the ME and the tyrannical managements. I suggest you find (very easy to find) these individuals and ask them why they are so very negative on QR, EK and EY and then reconsider. Take some time and review the many posts about life in the ME before you make a jump.
You should consider yourself lucky to be flying for a major airline like QF. You can live in a democracy, fly nice equipment and live among beautiful people. Just think about how difficult it might be to return once you realise the ME is not the place for you. I doubt QF would welcome you back...
